Getting Started



It's almost 10 PM and I need to go to bed. But my interest in learning something new keeps me here just long enough to post a little note.

Many have great thoughts and ideas but never "get started". It's like buying a car and never turning the key over and putting it in drive. You want to go some where in the car and you dream of going some where in the car and you desire to go some where in the car .. and you even "have" some where to go in the car .. but you do not get in the car and turn the key and go some where. That car is not going take you anywhere unless "you" get in and "you" turn the key.

My heart for years has been to write. Thought about it a lot. Have read things that other people have written. Have liked what others have written. But never have I put any action behind the thought. ( that's me in the second row, second from left - senior year in H.S. - part of the Class Newspaper - way back in 1975 )

Just thinking .. what if God had only thought about creating .. but He never created. Guess I wouldn't be here writing this .. and you wouldn't be there reading it.

What if David ( you know King David - before he became King David ) had only thought about writing songs but never put them down on paper. Most of the Book of Psalms would never have been written and we would not have the understanding of God and His Wonders as we do today.

What if Jesus had only thought about going to the Cross .. boy would we be in a heap of trouble still today.

What if Henry Ford would have only thought about the car - but never did any blue prints.

What if Thomas Edison had only thought about the LIGHT - we'd still be in the dark today. Pun intended.

There are many THOUGHTS I sure am glad went beyond the thinking and manifested into the THING.

What if Bill Gates would never have put his thoughts out there ... guess I'd be writing this all by hand.

I remember my Pastor, Bishop John Gimenez, years ago stating "there were many songs, many books, many dreams, lying 6 feet under in many a graveyards"


Just my thoughts ... as I begin this journey of "getting started" what I have thought about for a long time. I'm sure as this begins to bud and come forth it may change from what my first thoughts were ...

but guess what .. I am Getting STARTED!

MIREY CLAY

 JUNE 2016 Psalms 40:2a "He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay"   Have you ever seen quick sand or watched people battle in mud?   Quick sand has no foundation and both have a suction that seemingly prohibits you escaping it's grasp.   Sitting here thinking on God picking us up out of the miry clay as the Psalms states and got such a picture of this.   There we are, stuck in the pool (pit) of destruction, trying, grasping at the walls, trying to get out. With quick sand the more YOU struggle the deeper you sink. In mud, you keep sliding right back down into the pit. There is no sure thing to grasp hold of to get yourself out.   What I saw was two different scenarios and both with God calling to each. The one hears but keeps trying on his own and keeps slipping and sliding deeper. The other hears and looks up and all he does is reach up and allows God to reach down and pull him up out.   This speaks of Salvation in Jesus......and th

MORNING TIME

APRIL 2016 Friday's are my very slow mornings.  Every morning is slow for me as I am not a morning person but Friday's are my "hey, it's ok to be slow today so slow down even more and enjoy" kind of mornings.  So I got my Giant Blueberry Pancake together and in the oven and putting my water on for my coffee and getting ready for some "Him and I" time and just sitting down and talking. And I got to thinking about this and relating it to a husband and wife sitting down in the morning getting ready to start their day and talking and enjoying a cup of coffee and they think and talk about the day ahead. And then I got this horrid image of a wife sitting there and asking about this and asking about that .. "When are you gonna fix that pipe .. When are you gonna do something about that thing in the garage .. When are you gonna fix that hole in the wall ... When are you gonna talk to your son about his actions .. When are you .. When are you .. What are you

MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL

 DATED JUNE 2016 Mirror Mirror on the Wall ... (Tell ME what I want to hear ) ... Remember the story .. the Queen who had a mirror reassure her of her beauty and status in life ...   Remember when the mirror learnt about SNOW WHITE ... Remember the Queen's jealousy rage ....... Do we do this?   I have this mirror I bought for like 3-5 bucks .. and trust me the image I see is about 3-5 bucks worth. I look at myself in it and totally dislike what I see ... and have to go to another mirror of greater value to see myself as I am. I've been thinking on this in several different views ... I do have that ADHD or whatever brain .. zoom...zoom...zoom .. sorta like Skooter the Cat when he gets in one of him hyper moods..and he is zooming all over the house.. which usually results in something getting broke...but the trip is so much fun!   anyhow ... back on course here ....   So many times we are like the Queen ..going to the MIRROR/People and wanting to hear what we want to hear ... tel
