Squeeze it like a lemon: Errrrrrr......

http://squeezeitlikealemon.blogspot.com/2011/03/errrrrrr.html

Squeeze it like a lemon. Tuesday, 22 March 2011. I think, I er, lost the plot a little. Well that is to say I wondered a bit from the track, or lost sight of the end goal, or whatever other analogies you wanna, use you get the picture. So then came the time to do the talk, to get deep in. Here I am,. Mould me shape me. Let the things that break you, begin to break me. And I’m right here and I’m ready so. Now’s the time. The battle fields open. Now it’s our time and it’s our turn. So what you waiting for?

Squeeze it like a lemon. Sunday, 30 January 2011. Today I sat in a ‘traditional 1980’s church, the type I grew up in. The type my Dad use to lead and the type Id fallen asleep in too many times. Yet this time it was different. All together to back a church planting, community building, relationship growing thing. It was beautiful. This is the prayer or St Brendon the 2. Shall I abandon, O King of mysteries, the soft comforts of home? Shall I throw myself wholly upon You, without sword and shield, without...

Squeeze it like a lemon: can you help?

Squeeze it like a lemon. Monday, 22 November 2010. My eyes found hard to recognize at first. Although we’d spoken often. It’d been a while since I caught his gaze. Felt like I’d been trying often. But, I got caught up. He looked solitary, in the distance. I thought maybe He spoke so I tried hard to listen. But the words were missin. He just gave that same old same old. Tip back ‘e the head. He wanted me to follow, but no words were said. We paced the darkest landscape as yet unknown to me. Why I sad-crie...

Squeeze it like a lemon: October 2010

Squeeze it like a lemon. Saturday, 23 October 2010. The rest of the trip lead us a little deeper, a trip to Colonia , distributing food to poor (poor and poorer) families, meeting people in desperation. I always struggle with the concept of ‘mission tourism’ you know just looking at poverty, just observing rather than reaching in to try and help people out of it? Let me paint you a picture that sums up the trip. But believe it or not these things are not what struck me most. As we sat and heard her s...

Squeeze it like a lemon. Saturday, 16 January 2010. What do we do when we pray? Genesis 18 16 - 33. What do we do when we pray? Sure, it’s nice and we got plenty to say. And maybe people’ll look at us and be moved and impressed by our seemingly compassionate words. Or how our seemingly broken hearts are portrayed? Does anything ACTULLY change? Yeah, I know we talk a good game,. Let me paint you a picture. With a little help from scripture. So I’m just sitting here. In the heat of the day. But there&#8217...

Squeeze it like a lemon. Thursday, 29 July 2010. Perfect love drives out all fear? When you were little did you dream of anything, doing something, being something? Did you get there? When I was little I really wanted to be having fun, running about with other kids, but there were certain thing that I was just too scared to do. I’m not talking about jumping off diving boards I’m talking little things, putting your hand up in class, I was too scared to get something wrong. The Bible say’s. I’m in lo...

Squeeze it like a lemon. Monday, 3 May 2010. Cafe del mar sunset and an incredible God. The warmth has gone. The light lays hidden behind the unexpected mist. The melodic soulful ambiance creates the backdrop to the ever-present air of expectance. We all exercise a degree of forced patience. One solitary fisherman patrols the vast expanse and almost seems. In comparison to the ocean. The backdrop moves in slow motion. Eyes patrol in the same direction. And give a subtle impression. That we are all people.

Squeeze it like a lemon: I just.....

http://squeezeitlikealemon.blogspot.com/2011/01/i-just.html

Squeeze it like a lemon. Saturday, 29 January 2011. I just, .I just, . can’t explain. My current mental state I’m starting to find hard to maintain. And I feel like I’m losin it. I’m just trying. With all I am - to be good. To, do that thing I’m sure I’m sure I thought I should. To do right, to be nice, to live life. And be a really good guy. To keep my head high. To seek to know why. To speak truth and not lie. For the sake of my brother. And if the opportunity arises maybe even my enemy. And now I stink.
