but am distracted by everything!
- All I want for Christmas is for all my peeps to

- Got a Christmas tree today, I spent some
much needed inner kid time on the floor under the tree… When I was a kid,
my favorite Christmas tradition was lying under the tree looking up,
seeing the lights, smelling the fresh pine smell, and feeling the cool oxygen
that tree’s give. I would end up napping under the tree. Today, as I set
the tree up for my momma, I accidentally, yet joyfully got that time. For
years I’ve protested having a tree, cause it’s a waste of money and
deforestation issues, which, don’t get me started on… anyway… we got a
tree and I was forced to fix it, and as I angrily lay under the tree
adjusting it, I couldn’t fight the feeling and gave way to the smell, the
feel, the reminder of my childhood, and for those minutes I lingered, (15
min to be exact) I felt like a kid again. Free, unburdened, unhurried. It
was sheer bliss! Reminds me of being in the presence of God. Reminds me of
a Lifehouse lyric, “How can I stand here with You, and not be moved by
You?” Man, I know Jesus is nothing like that tree, but, man oh man, if I
got sucked in by a tree, I can’t wait to see my heavenly father!!!
- I haven’t written in such a long time, but if I
were writing, I’d be telling you about my obsession with the book of
Jonah! I am such a runner!! I understand him more than I understand most
things. LOL. The part I relate to most isn’t Jonah’s disobedience and
rebellion, which I do relate to (Lord, and my girls know!) but the part
that I relate to most is Jonah’s anger. The fact that he got upset cause
God didn’t rein down wrath on the Ninevites is the part that gets me!! Our
loving God responds to Jonah’s anger with such grace, and it just melts my
sick and calloused heart. Reminds me that the Lord had and continues to
have such grace and mercy on me, in my sin and anger. Jonah was angry that
God had grace on the people, then God grows a plant to give Jonah shade as
he sits and sulks about the not wrath reining portion of the story, and
when the plant withers, Jonah becomes even angrier… “But
God said to Jonah, "Do you do well to be angry for the plant?"
And he said, "Yes, I do well to be angry, angry enough to die."”
–Jonah 4:9… ANGRY ENOUGH TO DIE??? Really Jo?! Those words are so loaded!!
I can’t wait to dissect them!
- And since I’m on a Jonah soapbox… “Those
who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.” -Jonah
2:8 Cuts the fat of sin and
indifference from around my heart! The fat that chokes the desire to quit
it all and fall facedown and praise my gracious and merciful God! Oh Lord,
all man desires is steadfast love! You’re it!! YOU ARE IT!
- The Nativity story makes me cry every single
time I hear it. It blows my MIND!!
- I’ve made up my mind, Chet Baker sings my song
to me best! LOL. For years everyone I know has sang their own version of
“My Funny Valentine” to me, which I think is uber sweet, and I love it,
but of all people, I think he sang it best… sorry y’all. I love it
nonetheless. Don’t stop singing. Oh be quiet. Just sing.
- I think Luc Montagnier’s HIV homeopathy research
is fascinating and on to something… I’ve watched HIV, and I think I’m in
his corner… I so would love to work at the Pasteur Institute one day… Hmm…
- I know that its cheesy, but some Christmas songs
are genuinely sweet. I wish we had white Christmases. I’d love to see
snow!
- My mom
was gifted another cockatiel, he is gray and white. Every time I see the
new guy I feel like watching old movies! He reminds me of a Hitchcock film.
LOL
- I think
its time to study before I fail… lol
- FUTURE OF FORESTRY!!!! Dec. 23!!! San Diego! Can’t
wait!!! :D
- There’s an old song called “Midnight Confession”
LOL that’s funny to me.
up…
