Picture with me if you will, the world's greatest juggler. For no specific purpose we will call this juggler by the name of Pierre Boyardee the third (not to be confused with the delectable canned soups). We will just say PB3 for short. I prefer to picture my jugglers as short French men with wonderful curled mustaches. Ok so here we are, looking at PB3, the greatest juggler to ever master the art of tossing random objects in the air. PB3 jumps onto his unicycle and begins to demonstrate his impeccable sense of balance, after no time at all he is up and running. His assistant, lil Rodeo, throws the first ball in the direction of PB3. One ball, two ball, three balls, oh my. Ok, so I’m not impressed, I’ve seen this before. Now PB3 steps down to the ground from his brilliant blue unicycle and onto a quickly moving treadmill. Once again lil Rodeo doesn’t miss a beat, accept this time it is flaming swords. Woah, now I’m impressed. One, two, three, oh my, four, five, six, no way, seven flaming swords of death are being flung around in great circles under the control of the great Pierre Boyardee the third. I have never seen such a feat.
Not so different from the magnificent feat of Pierre Boyardee the third is our everyday lives. We seem to be so overwhelmed, even to the point of collapse. We take on work, school, family, friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, wives, hobbies, church. No wonder we eat so much fast food, we are running a million miles a second! One cannot help but ask, has it always been this way? Is it supposed to be this way? Maybe you are tired of putting on a show like the great PB3. Maybe you are weary of tossing so many different things in an art of juggling only to seemingly find your peril. Maybe you are hurt from a past relationship or loss. I hope that whatever you are going through you can find rest. I pray that you can find true rest that will satisfy your thirst. Matthew 11:28-30 reminds us that Jesus is the only true place to find rest. Jesus is the only place to hide and be regenerated. Rest your burdens in the Lord for His yoke is easy and His burden is light.
What it is, What it is....
Walk the world together for God's Glory!
Welcome
So I came accross this video today by the help of Pollett. Pollett knows the two main guys in the video, I am constantly amazed by his fame. If you are like me, you too are worried that Pollett may be further proving the "six degrees of seperation to Kevin Bacon". Ok, so I may have mispelled Bacon, I guess I can only think about the food verson of bacon as I am always hungry.
So anyway, the video... Well it also contains a friend of Andrea and mine. He has a major role, if you look very closely, you may have to rewind and pause, you will see a guy in the car that gets stuff thrown at him. Yeah, that is Trey Bodin, we know him, get some Pollett.
I love this video because this is a pretty funny look at how we view the process of action and Apology! I hope you can learn something from it!
OK... So I know I have let down my blog followers! I have not posted a new blog since last Christmas, and for that I AM SORRY! I guess I have just been so wrapped up in the birth of our Lord that I was speechless, OK maybe not, maybe I am just awful at this blogging thing.
SO... the last few months have been a whirlwind. I have been privileged to lay privy to many crazy things going on around us. The "New Boston Tea Partys" for instance. Man this stuff is crazy. I have also been privileged to witness the crazy grace and mercy of God. So many people around me are hurting so deeply. I have been able to stand with them in the trenches and fight along side them. Sometimes it is tough to know what to say or what to do in these times, but what is so amazing is the unchanging consistency of God. OK so I know I just said unchanging and consistency, they basically mean the same thing, but I just want to show so clearly that God is steady, God is constant, God is God! We fail, we hurt, we bleed, we experience death at an unbarable rate. God never fails, God is always with us when we hurt, God is always with us when we bleed, God is the definition of life. If your are hurting or suffering at all today, I simply want to encourage you to find comfort at the foot of the cross.
(2 Corinthians 1:3-7)
