Boom Baby!

Ahhhh, flying the friendly skies. I think today I will fly over enemy territory and see if that special young lady has any mutal feelings for me. BOOM! Whoa! Taking some damage, but I am still flying. No worries, I'll just head back to base. BOOM! Direct hit! Mayday Mayday! I can't hold her any longer. I'm going down. I have to bail out!

So off comes the canopy and a push of the ejection button and whoosh, I am clear of my burning wreakage I once called a possibility. Another dream shot down to earth in a heap of flames, but it's not so bad. The journey back to earth is a time to reflect on what happened. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Better to live in reality than fantasy.

Prayer is a dangerous thing.

"Lord help me to know if I should pursue a relationship with this particular person."

"Sure, no problem. I can do that."

BOOM! BOOM!

"Thanks Lord...your hilarious."

When I finally reach the ground, it will be time to find the airport, get in another plane, and wait for clearance to go flying again.

What do you want?

Every once and awhile somebody will approach me and I know that the only reason they are going to come talk to me is because they want something, not because they care to know how I am doing, or anything else about me. Sometimes I wish they would just want to say hello.

Having said that, do I treat God that way? "Hey God, how are you? Yah yah whatever. I got this problem and I need you to fix it for me."

I met this fellow a few years ago and he said that he told God jokes. I thought he was crazy. Telling God jokes! Seriously? As I think about it now, maybe it's not so crazy. Maybe that is the way our relationship with God is supposed to be. A real relationship, not just wanting stuff all the time but wanting to just spend time with Him.

I might not start telling Him jokes, but I can cetainly improve on my just spending time with Him.

What happened???

I have been offline for a month. That is why there has not been any recent posts to my blog. But why, why has there not been any posts? When your arms are fuzzy it is hard to type. Now that I have shaved my arms here is the reason.

In the middle of October I went away to a thing called an Encounter Weekend. This is when you dedicate the whole weekend to being with God and learning more about Him. At the end of the weekend there is an option to take a 30 day media fast. That includes no books, no music, no tv, no video games, no internet-unless it is for work. The idea being it helps you focus on God. Oh, you can read your Bible.

It was hard at times but for the most part I didn't miss the media. The other day I turned on my radio and shortly after it was on I turned it off. I didn't need it, it was annoying.

I had a few blog ideas while I was on my media fast and I hope to share them shortly.
