Organized Randomness

• Being laid off from your job makes you realize just how busy you’ve made yourself.
• I’m in search of what God would have me do now rather than being consumed with seeking what He would have me do next.
• Don’t correct or point out a character flaw in someone until you have first pointed out evidences of God’s grace in their life.
• God thinks much of Himself and His ideas. His ideas are in the Scriptures. We would do well to look at those ideas (ok, maybe commands is a better word) and carry them out the WAY He instructs us to rather than modifying His already perfect ideas (ooops, commands) to what we think might be better for our day and age.
• I am grateful for the peeps that God has placed throughout my life.
• I am blessed far beyond what I deserve.
• God’s idea is for us to live in community with one another, not isolate ourselves from people. He likes to work through people in our communities to minister to us.
• I hate my pride, yet I can’t escape it.
• My pursuit of humility will keep me busy enough for a lifetime.
• “Serving” the church is not signing up for programs, ministries, or other busy work. It is living life in such a way that serves the Kingdom which advances the Gospel. You signed up to serve when you accepted Christ.
• “No power of hell, no scheme of man, can ever pluck me from His hand.”
• I still worship “stuff” that I can’t have. I worship it because I can’t have it.
• Pride is the root of all sin. I am the biggest sinner I know.
• My wife rocks!
• Wii Fit is a workout, especially with a titanium rod in your femur.
• It’s just as important to study the Scriptures as it is to live them out. Balance is the key, as one is not more important than the other.
• I have a friend who doesn’t like to eat turkey but yet lives there.
• Persecution is a privilege. YIKES!
• Just because we might not be able to figure certain concepts out, doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t think upon such things.
• Do hard things!
• I love my life right now and wouldn’t change a thing!!
• “God uses people who are themselves in need of change, as instruments of the same kind of change in others.”
