Doin It the Way We Do


Not sure what the title means. It's horrible english....and well....sounds like the way most people talk these days.

Today was an interesting day, I guess. Work as usual wasn't anything to talk about in length. Just got a ton of projects and I'm overwhelmed. Is it the weekend yet? LOL I'll be back in OKC this weekend to get my car worked on. It seems like a chronic problem really. Nonetheless I still need to get it fixed before it has a ton of problems and get some new tires. Yippee for expense.

Got a chance to go to a Bible study today too. This is good for me. The people were interesting and offer some unique views on some things, which is good for me to listen to as well. I was hoping to meet some people I might hang out with, but that didn't happen. I still want to join another group so hopefully that will yield some of that.

One thing we got stuck on with a bunch of different viewpoints was that of "pray continually" in my version anyway. Obviously, we as Christians cannot spend every minute in prayer. We didn't come up with a definite answer even with some books that offer some insight. They were all different. I think that it just means to have God continually on your mind and to keep conversation/prayer all day. This is unattainable, but something to strive for. Maybe little prayers constantly during the day or something. I'll try that.

I brought up a point of kindness in the group. In reading "Searching for God Knows What" the author talks about only being kind to those who are kind to us. God teaches us to be kind to all others no matter what. I think it is somewhat of a definition of a Christian to be kind. Being kind all the time when people aren't being kind back is what we strive to be. I'm going to work on being kind in situations when I wouldn't be.

Enough for now, I'm getting tired and must go to bed so I'm not dead tomorrow at another beautiful day of work.

Note: Picture of me playing in the snow on Torreys Peak. Yes, another goal accomplished of playing in the snow during the summer months! :-)

lol @ playing in the snow in the summer months. And being kind when people aren't kind to you is definitely not easy.

I also wouldn't go so far as to say that it's unattainable to be in constant prayer, as of course, "nothing is impossible through Him who gives us strength."
