Well, to fill in the gaps for anyone who may be reading this (if this is my future self, then "Hello! Oswald Chambers says, "The great enemy to the Lord Jesus Christ in the present day is the conception of practical work that has not come from the New Testament, but from the systems of the world in which endless energy and activities are insisted upon, but n...

My brain usually goes faster than I can follow. This is an attempt to slow it down so I can find out what I'm thinking. Wednesday, January 31, 2007. In the Bible, James says to "consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of many kinds." C.S. Lewis says that man would not know what a straight line was if he had no conception of a crooked line. In other words, sometimes we have to experience "bad" for us to more fully understand and appreciate "good" (my paraphrase). Posted by jfn Photography.

My brain usually goes faster than I can follow. This is an attempt to slow it down so I can find out what I'm thinking. Wednesday, November 14, 2007.

Somewhere along the lines, I penned the following journal entry, and I think it bears repeating here. July 6, 2006. I have recently been reminded of this. And today, I drove. We always want more, don't we. I know I do. Even now, I want a new jac...There...

Thoughts from Scott: March 2007
http://thoughtsfromscott.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
My brain usually goes faster than I can follow. This is an attempt to slow it down so I can find out what I'm thinking. Thursday, March 22, 2007. I just dusted off my Bible. The thought of that just sort of struck me. It sounds cliche to say the least - like something you hear from preachers trying to revive a spiritually stagnant congregation. Granted, I have a different Bible that. I don't have to have all the answers. I don't have to do it all. There's something to be said for. Doing whatever you do.
