Work Again

It is going mostly well but all the same I know this is not the career for me. I enjoy most of the people and get to basically take charge and do what I want to (within reason, something tells me if I ran about lobbing Molotov cocktails I might loose my job) but bottom line this isn't going to bring long term satisfaction. Money is going nowhere and regardless of the economy happiness will continue to be elusive.



"There's nothing in it for us, nothing at all. The best thing to do is give it a decent burial and get on with your new life. God's Spirit beckons. There are things to do and places to go! This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It's adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike "What's next, Daddy?"

God's Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who he is, and we know who we are: Father and children. And we know we are going to get what's coming to us--an unbelievable inheritance! We go through exactly what Christ goes through. If we go through the hard times with him, then we're certainly going to go through the good times with him!"


I want a real life, a real life caught up in love, the adventure of living life...I want to ardently embrace the responsibility of life and live it like there is nothing else. I do not care about the simple waste of time because I want something real, something that matters in life.

I have found it but I am still looking for it, I have found true love that brings me to tears and I have found a purpose that reaches beyond this life and into the depths of eternity. It found me and we are one in ways I never knew. But the search, the adventure, the fight continues on.



"The revolution returns
The reformation lives on
The great awakening is now
Sleepers open your eyes
A war is on, our rally cry is no compromise
No compromise, yeah, no compromise
A war is on, our battle cry is no compromise
So throw your fist up and pray the revolution rise
A war is on, our rally cry is no compromise

Our hearts have grown so cold
And we’ve such numb souls
But shirts and bumper stickers
Man we got ’em by the truckload
Is true religion what you have around your wrist
What does the scripture say of this?

They honor me with words
But their hearts are far away
I call ’em like I see ’em
And that’s what I see today
So I call on John Edwards
Who preached us all awake
We try to be emotional but here is our mistake
As a church we lack repentance and we lack true affection
Not only in our minds but our hearts need correction
And man that’s true religion, resignation and contrition
To love each other so much that we’d die before division"
