Well I am an Ass...


      My kids have been away at summer camp for the week.  The wife and I have a good week, or so I was thinking..  Not her fault, see I am a man, I am not sure if it is a man problem as a whole, or just me.  My wife has been asking to do something so very simple.  Lets go to the park and have a picnic.  What is my response, no that  sounds like a lot of work.  See my wife likes that sort of thing. I not so much, and so not what I want to do. So we never do it. Tonight there a free concert in town, I say lets go and see whats up.  She hears, lets go sit in the grass, have a picnic and watch a concert. I am thinking lets check it out and move on.  Lets just say I hurt my wife's feeling.  Not my intention but I did it none the less. I got her hopes up that we were finally going to do the one thing she really wanted to do.  Through our discussion she pointed out I say no to most the thing that don't sound fun to me, or sound like to much of a hassel. From this day forward I am making a commitment to say yes to the things my wife and kids want to do, and have a good attitude about it. So men if you read this. And if you thinking what am I doing wrong. I am here to tell you, its not all about you. Try saying yes to the things she and they want to do. A chick flick is that bad and you might actually like it. I strive to nurture, protect and show my wife everyday that I love her. But I lose the important  things to much. Don't focus of one of the area because you hurt instead of help.  All I had to do is listen....


Another day in the Walk......

the day

I was thinking today about a hole lot of nothing. That might sound a little silly but it can be quite productive. When you about nothing its easier for all the other thought root in the brain. It's like sleeping all the thought just kinda set them selfs in a good order. It also gives god a chance to butt in to the busy day and talk to you. It's kinda amazing how thinking of nothing does a person good. We make time for so many other things, work, working out, shopping, eating sleeping, haircuts, total body waxing, you simple everyday kinda things. How much time do we really do nothing. In my nothing time I like to listen for god. And am always amazed how something there is in nothing.

This my first entry. Is the United State moving the way of jerusalem in Isaiah 1:23 or the way of judah in isaiah 2:5-6. Lord lead me here and I'm kinda stuck here. I am thinking a little of both and I think that even though this was written about a different place and time it is still poent to right now. just my thought to ponder for the here and now..........
