needs to be reiterated

Really great writing starts with a few (million) terrible first efforts.

Work is easier...

when I can hear "The Voice of Truth" by Casting Crowns coming from the cubicle across the aisle. Thank God for brethren!:o)

I was right.

God is doing exactly what He said He would do. :o)

knowing v. proving

"We know by intuition; we prove by the mind ... While the guidance of the intuition is frequently quite opposite to reasoning, we still must use the head, though not to argue with intuition but to examine whether this thing is really from God. Intuition apprehends the will of God very quickly; however, we require time for the brain to probe and prove whether what we apprehend is truly from our intuition and the Holy Spirit. It it is from God our intuition shall emit an even more accurate sense while under probing, thus effecting in us a stronger faith than before that this thing is in truth from God. The exercise of the intellect in this way - only in the way of examination - is both beneficial and proper. But should this sensing be of our fleshly thought and feeling, then in the process of examination our conscience will raise its voice is opposition. Consequently, the probing with our mind to understand whether a matter is from God or not will not interfere but will instead give opportunity to intuition to prove itself. If it is of intuition what has it to fear from the probing of the mind? On the other hand, whatever is afraid of being probed is probably out from one's self. The head should never guide or lead, but it unquestionably is needed to probe the authenticity of guidance."

a morning in the life of...

So before the rumors spread farther than the doors of SHS, let me kill them first. I am NOT the SHS drunk. I did, however, have my first drink. WITH MY TOES! Here's how the real story goes: I needed a cup of hot tea (Lipton Green Tea - Orange, Passionfruit, and Jasmine) and thought I should grab a bottle of water from the fridge at the same time. Well, I'm not sure which Cletus put the full beer bottles on top of the fridge thinking it was a safe and secure place, but this Cletus successfully knocked one of those bottles off the top and down the side/back of the fridge simply by opening the door! It crashed with a huge bang and beer everywhere especially all over my toes and jeans. Perhaps if SHS had a more strict dress code, then I would not have been wearing jeans and I would have beer cuts all over my feet. At any rate, YUCK! So I smell like beer. Oh yeah, and everyone in the building heard the sound, but no one came running. I had to find help. :o(

The morning did get better; I got to show off my hip jumping rope skills as we jumped rope in the aisle outside my cubicle. That was fun. I'll have to add a picture later. No nursery rhymes or anything, this is after all a professional business.

The afternoon looks like work: presenting concepts for a brochure and a tissue about naming natural beef. But for now, lunch.

possession

"Let us be aware of this though: that man's mind belongs to man; without his permission the enemy would be powerless to use it. Unless man voluntarily delivers (knowingly or unknowingly) his mind to the evil spirits they have no right to encroach on man's freedom."
-Watchman Nee, The Spiritual Man, Vol. III pg 18
