Today's Special is...us?

Have you ever thought that you where special? Now if you look at yourself ,after reading the previous sentence, and immediately begin to go down the list of your achievements and talents you are at risk of being prideful. I do ,in contrast , want to provoke the idea that we are special because of God.

Think about this statement: "He made me special"

That statement totally removes us from the equation and forces us to acknowledge God for His creativity. We are special because He is "Specialer" (I know... leave it alone. If you look at the over all entry, it make sense in this context ).

He is a SPECIAL Guy.

"What is on your mind anyway?"

I get asked what I am thinking fairly often. Sometimes it is because I do or say something that only makes sense to me and other times it is because someone is attempting to get into my head (They are usually flustered by the effort). Here is a list of what is in my mind. This list contains the things that permeate my thinking. I ,obviously, don't think all of them at the same time with the same amount of attention to each, but they are all going on in my head nearly simultaniously.

GOD
worry
music
people
non sense
a joke
something bad
something good
a depressing thought
inspiration
beauty
"Do I stink at what I am doing"
how to make myself laugh
Memories
Goals
Regrets
GLORY

if you see me stairing blankly into space, I'm busy, but I love you enough to put my thoughts aside to show you that I actually care what keeps your mind full

Peace

ps I really do have a lot on my mind you are probably on it too

Continued thinking

Like I was saying last time happiness enjoys company too.

Think about it if you are having a really good day, and you tell a friend (and you will) it is a good thing. No one ever gets worn out when you spend 15 minutes telling them how great a day you are having, but we will ware someone out with the bad stuff that happens in life.

SPREAD THE HAPPY AND TELL A FRIEND ABOUT THE GOOD STUFF

peace

ps I will try to blog more often

Free Think

I have not blogged in a while, so I decided to go ahead and do that.

I think that the phrase misery loves company is true but on the brighter side of things happiness also enjoys having people drop in for a visit. 

To Be Continued..

Peace

Women

Over the last year I have had many well meaning people mention to me my need for a girlfriend. I want to start by saying that I am not opposed to the idea or what it could look like in practicality.

I think ,however, that people get to anxious to be with somebody so the settle for anybody. That is terrible. I think three things need to be seen in someone before they are even a "candidate"

Attraction- There has to be something about them that makes you look at them and think " HELLO BABY!!!!!!!!!!!". There should ,in my opinion, be a physical attraction but what ever hooks you is really up to you

Apparent Growth- There walk with the Lord should be growing and should be an inspiration to you. If there relatinoship with God is something worth watching they are worth getting to know weather or not you want to date them. This is good for your walk and if you do start something togeather it will help you grow spiritually

Genuine Kindness- This is rare. We should only even look at kind people; why waste time with a jerk? If your "candidate" is simple kind to people because they relise Jesus loves them, They will be espicially kind to you.

In case you where wondering this is what gose through my mind everytime someone says "Eric you need a women"

Peace

ps everytime

YOU DISHONOR YOUR HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I found out about the pastor that did the closing prayer at the democratic national convention. I was angered to hear that rather then bowing the knee to the supremacy of Christ.He chose to prostrate himself to the name of political correctness.

I am all for not beating people with the Bible but come on. If a believer gets a chance to proclaim the greatness of who Jesus is, he must take it. To cower out of giving Jesus the honor due to Him is by far the greatest dishonor in life. e
In japan if a samurai dishonored himself, his lord, or his family in such a way the only means to regain himself is seppuku (ritual suicide). I am in no way advocating that this man should harm or kill himself, but he should seek Restoration. There are so few good examples of godly people that are excepted (to some extent) by the secular world.

How hurtful it is to the cause of the Gospel when one of the leaders in its movement ,even for a moment, publicly dishonors Jesus by glossing over Him for the sake of being "politically correct"

Peace

My Conclusion

I got slightly harassed today because on my facebook status which said
"Eric has come to the conclusion of a life time". I was asked by a couple
of people "what was the conclusion". To be honest it is vary basic.

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose
the weak things of the world to shame the strong
1 Corinthians 1:27

I understood what this meant before today but it hit me that in 2 Corinthians God told paul regarding the thorn in His flesh

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made
perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
2 Corinthians 12:9


I came to the conclusion that no matter what weaknesses or
ineffencies I have God will get more credit through that.(that way I
really cant get the credit ). When we truly see how weak we are we can
really glorify God and make everyon in the world see how awesome we know He
is.In short I came to accept and like my weakness because God will
use it

Peace
