White Steamers

I'm just going to run with it. This is the first blog (technically second), but this is one addressing my thoughts, positions, you know.

Just got back to church where I seem to spend some significant time at this laptop. The goal always is to make it productive time. I spend most of my days wondering how God can love a guy like me, I don't doubt that he loves me, that's different. All I know is that he is very loving which brings me to the topic of some of my favorite stories about people who do all kinds of things, in the end God shows how much he loves them and is patient with them. (i.e. woman at the well, Moses, David, woman at the Pharisee's house, the disciples, Paul, on and on).

God would like us to take our cues from him, if we did that things could go easier for us. A friend of mine, who used to have a serious alcohol problem reminds me of that, and I have many of my own personal reminders.

I heard that in old times farmers used to take an inexperienced ox, and team it up with an older one. The older animal would carry most of the load, the younger one would learn until eventually he was strong enough to help.

I am the younger one, and I am learning, I do well to keep in mind that my leader, Jesus, is stronger that the strongest ox, and that he is leading me to help me be stronger and live a productive life. God is calling all of us to pay attention to his love.
