It comes down to self and God,
Relationship.

There is humility, which allows us to know God;
and there is pride,
which is the utmost evil that comes straight from hell to the heart,
in which everyone has to deal with, no matter who you are.

Clive Lewis speaks on what pride is and what pride is not.
He mentions how pride can easily slip into parts of our life and grow,
along with ways that we can test our reasons and thinking.

I would like to add…that there are verses in the word
that will help us in knowing our self and our God.
For instance… James 4.

rose


You love the roses – so do I. I wish
The sky would rain down roses, as they rain
From off the shaken bush.  Why will it not?
Then all the valley would be pink and white
And soft to tread on.  They would fall as light
As feathers, smelling sweet: and it would be
Like sleeping and yet waking, all at once.



George Eliot

Forgiveness

O my unforgiving heart.  I know this to be true.  For just when i think forgiveness is what i possess, the next moment proves that i do not.  Fear and selfishness are shrouded within these human bones.  I am not completely free of the death that haunts this my flesh and blood.  As the poison of blame and malice comes to light, may it be that i am armed with God’s mercy and His compassion and grace be my guide.

Jesus keep me through it all, as in your name i want to ever be.

in indy

it would be nice to be back in oregon, but, i’m not.  i am still sweltering in indiana and scheduled to fly over clouds and state lines on wednesday.  with a stop at at the denver airport for tea and to catch a ride on another beast that is to fly to the northwest over mountains and desert at about half a mile per second (or something like that).  anyway.  i have photos, dirty clothes, probably dead flowers and a hankerin’ to be home.  but… tomorrow (tuesday), syd and i are threatening to go to the “indy museum of art” in the afternoon.  they have air conditioning and some cool art.

time for a cool change

this retirement community is very quiet.  the schedule of the house is
walk the dog, feed the dog, watch tv, and nap.  along with a few trips
to the store or the gym.  i am learning how to crochet for pity sakes.
and i’m getting this pain in my side.  i gotta get out of here…
