Where do I Live


It is raining so maybe the streams will be in better shape this week.

We need to live here me especially! In the fellowship with the King not out with the serfs and peasants. I am an heir and a child of the King why do I continue to look to the serfdom and not the Kingdom? Is it the world, is it my personality, or is it the fact that the world is corrupt and wicked and it just gets a hold of your spirit and just doesn't want to let go. It seems that the world, Satan and his minion and even other folks in the Kingdom because of their own sin are pulling me into being a spiritual peasant. I have no idea why I at times choose sack cloth and rags when I can be clothed in glorious raiments.

It has been awhile


Hey out there in Blog-land.
Fishing has been great for those who have been out. Congrats to LT on a 30+ inch walleye.
Here is the thought for today. Do you accept mediocre service? As I have my quiet time each day I have reflected on the service I have gotten from a “vendor” whether it be a diner, service station (I know it seems to be an oxymoron), a retailer or even the paper boy/girl. Most of the time I am disappointed or at least not impressed. I work hard for my money and I would hope that the people I “employ” to deliver my paper or cook my family a meal would appreciate this, but sadly I don’t think they often do. But if I reflect on my service to the King I realize that I most often don’t respect the high cost He paid so that I could be serving Him. He died so that I may live and yet I serve mediocrity up on a regular basis. So I think it is die to self for the One that died for me, He died not only to set me free but because He did not want to live without me.
