The Power of Words

It's true that you can't un-ring a bell or put toothpaste back in the tube. It's also true that the words we say can never be taken back. This became abundantly clear this week when a coworker used a very inappropriate word when asked to do a task. Words have power and James was right when he wrote that the tongue is a mighty weapon. I will take educational process in and make it part of who I am. For once, it's nice to learn from someone else's mistake and not my own.

Life is strange

So I thought I need to spend more time writing so I'm going to commit to doing it. I was thinking about how things have not worked out the way I thought they would. Fired from 2 churches, wiping butts and giving showers for Alzheimer patients, my son going off to school and the pain of that only to have to deal with him returning home 7 weeks later. Most of the time I have no idea why life brings what it does. All I know is that God seems to be a magic eye picture and I am color blind.

God's Reminder

It seems funny to think that I cannot get through my head that I have very little to do with the size of youth group. Just when I think I'm doing something special, God loads the homework on the students and the group shrinks. Guess I need to stop taking credit for God's victories and not feel to bad when God subtracts from the group. I just miss the students when they aren't there.
