Random Thoughts


1. So many people are alive, but they ain't livin'.

2. Gary Coleman's wife is trying to sell photos of him in death in the hospital. Isn't this a little extra yucky?

3. "One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that most of us tend to put off living." -Dale Carnegie. Real talk right there!

4. Okay, my Flyers lost, but they had a good run. They exceeded what was expected of them. Spoken like a true loser, I know.

5. How long is it going to take them to finally plug up this oil leak?

6. If you want to get out the hole you're in, stop digging it.

7. A Smile is one curve that sets everything else straight.

8. I don't know if good guys always win, but I know that determined guys seldom lose.

9. Ladies, if you've been with a guy for over five years and he hasn't put a ring on your finger, chances are he's not planning to do it.

10. In the words of the late black playwright, August Wilson... "Confront the dark parts of yourself. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing!"

Some good stuff found in these randoms. I am quick to say that in order for angels to appear, the demons have to be brought to the light. I came to that conclusion, firsthand, back in '06.

Yep. We have to live, we definitely have to live life. Above all else.




KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: My heart is heavy with my own failures. I try to excuse them and explain to myself why they occurred, because I want to be free from the feeling that I am unworthy and incapable of being all that I can be. But I find it easier to accept your forgiveness than to forgive myself. When I try to forgive myself, it seems I only remember and re-play my failures in my mind, and a sense of hopelessness floods over me. Help me to know that my past actions are a part of my growing humanity and that even when I fail to live up to what is your will for me, every single moment can be lived anew. Remind me that refusing to forgive myself only keeps me from experiencing that newness. Assure me of the truth that by casting “my sins into the depth of the sea”, you have freed me to discard them myself and live the next moment as if it were my first, for indeed it is. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
