A challenge

A speaker shared from Psalm 90 where David says that he will, he will, he will. David makes no mention of things that he might do. As I thought of my lack of commitment, I thought of Brad. We're wanting to make a documentary, and he wants me to fly up to Rhode Island over Christmas. Actually, I think that I mentioned the time frame. But then it's easy to keep telling him maybe and letting the date approach slowly. I told him that I would give him a definite tonight.

All this talk of "I might" to "I will" has made me consider to what I proposing my time. It drives me nuts to have so many things hang in the balance, but I do an outstanding job of helping people to dream... and then not really committing to anything. Their spirit says, "Argh."

So, I am moving toward saying, "I will," a bit more often. Thoughts, rebuttal?

Discipline

I can't believe that I'm just now beginning to see the need for discipline in my life. If I don't schedule something in it does not get done. I was about to say that life is busier than it's ever been, but who decides whether or not it is busy? What is the primary thing that I go after? Can I say what it is? Am I going after it?

Where there is freedom, there is responsibility. The scriptures say that in Christ, we have freedom. We have the responsibility to do right, not what necessarily feels good.

Continue on

Welcome to Sunday night. It's interesting how I can do things and develop a big complex over whether or not people respond to what I say. But since this site fights against being a victim, I will continue on and continue to do things. I shared my testimony with a group of people and just had tough-to-read response. Was I a failure? Who cares! I shared about how much the love of Jesus has affected my life. I'll continue to do that.

Why wait?

I've found that I consistently wait for someone to tell me what to do. Do you notice that that lacks initiative? I am beginning to make recommendations to the higher-ups and the powers that be. It requires much more brain thought and takes a bit of risk to pull off. Why? Because what if someone likes my idea and lets me impliment it. Will I succeed? And that is where my famous line of "risk failure" comes into play.

Risk big; win big!

A New Year

It's been over a year since the last post, and it's high time for a fresh post.

I would like to mention the word, "victimization." They should have come sooner. This should not have happened to me. It never works out for me.

These all imply that certain things are due certain people. What are those certain things? Who are the certain people? Who decides? Because if there is some standard that we agree on, I can almost guarantee that we will be light-years ahead of most of the world. Is it our responsibility to help others? Because of his theories on the Superman, Nietzche said that Christianity needs to be destroyed because of its notion that the greatest are those who serve.

However, others are always our responsibility. To suggest otherwise become survival of the fittest. Maybe we should begin to discuss what is meant by being selfish and just how much needs to be provided for self before self can help or serve others. And is serving others really a good thing?
