Writeing and Jesus

I have found out that some times I write like I talk. That's pretty embarrassing when you send it to someone who is a good speller. So, I have decided, that I will have my wife edit everything I do from now on. She was a columnist for two years with a local newspaper called the Navarre News. The column was called Cindy's Kitchen. She wrote stories about the recipes of family members and told stories about them in the process. Let me tell you that this woman, my wife, Cindy, can write. Cindy can spell with the best of them. She says she can't write! So its no big deal that she can take a chewed up pencil and make you want to take a vacation on it. I've told her many times that she needed to write a book or a cookbook, but she always has a reason why she can't write it. Well maybe one day! Miracles do happen don't ya know. I wonder how God feels when people don't use the physical gifts that he gave them when he created us. You can find out how he feels about us by reading Psalms chapter 139. Yes the whole chapter is really a good read. Try it, you might just like it; don't be afraid, Just open the Bible (Basic Information Before Leaving Earth ) I have had minimal teaching in Diction, Writing, Spelling, or even throughout school, English was not one of my favorite subjects. English Lit.; now I loved English Lit. Mr. Clark was one great teacher and a wonderful friend to me after I left. For me, school, was over, and I left for other journeys I had to take.

I was so caught up in the things that I wanted to accomplish, that I just never stayed with the basic grammar and spelling and to learn about it. Have you ever heard the saying "keep it simple, stupid"? We should never make things more complicated than they really are. That is how a lot of people are with accepting Jesus as their savor; they think, what do I have to give up? What will my friends think of me? I don't want to be called a Jesus freak! Oh no here comes the Bible thumper. If you ever want to be alone an elevator just start talking about Jesus. It will take only one or two floors to be completely by yourself... with twenty floors left to go.

Well Jesus did tell us to go into our prayer closets, to communicate with Him. So make the best of your time. You still have those twenty floors to go to talk with God. You'll will come out in a better mood than when you went in - you are set for the rest of the day. A smile is still contagious, even today. Did you see on the news channels where a man or woman wants to break the "hug me" record? People today seem to be in such a hurry that they don't have time to be loved. Give them a smile, it's an acknowledgment that you care about them. Be nice to people, and many will want what you have.

Did you see how I went from writing, to talking about the Lord, and how it makes people feel. Well I feel just great! And I hope you do to.
