Life Gets in the Way

I have been away for quite some time. Probably the longest since I have been doing this. I will admit to you that I have fallen in the trap that too many of us fall into! You know what I'm talking about don't you. You have every intention of doing something, but if it is hard or will take away from your personal time, or inconvenience you at all - well then it turns into a hindrance. Am I right? You know I am!

No matter what the task it all starts with a thought, but putting that thought into action is a totally different story. It takes work and effort...two necessary traits that are missing in today's world. I'll give you a great example: everywhere I go people are complaining about gas prices, but everyone is still driving. No one has traded in the auto for a palomino. We are complainers by birth. It has been around since the beginning. Look at Adam in the garden, he blamed Eve and then she blamed the snake. 12 The Man said, "The Woman you gave me as a companion, she gave me fruit from the tree, and, yes, I ate it." 13 God said to the Woman, "What is this that you've done?" "The serpent seduced me," she said, "and I ate."
Gen 3:12-13 (MSG) We have gotten good at not taking responsibility for our actions.


I have so many ideas for the blog everyday and it is always on my mind. I'll see a bumper sticker on a passing car, a church sign, hear a sermon, or just get a thought, but the follow through is just lacking. All I can say is life just gets in the way. I love writing here, because it's a great release and I give all the glory to God for everything, and yes even when life gets in the way. Hope to catch y'all reading this and I hope to be back soon.

Have a Blessed Day!!!
