well, so yesterday afternoon, evening, and all night i was sick as a dog..... at one point i was REALLY 'sick' iffn you know what i mean, and i wound up with raspberries up my nose!!!!! it was kinda cute, in that i'm-feeling-quasi-delirious-with-fever kinda way, to blow bits o' raspberry out of my nose for the next half hour!
and even though my body was achin' from layin' in my hard lumpy bed for 12 hours and then some, and feeling so nauseous like i was going to puke up 12 ice cream buckets instead of the half of one that i did, etc etc etc....... I DIDN'T GET IRRITABLE!!!!!!! ... in fact, i felt peaceful. to God be the glory there, fer sure!!!!!
the goal: to focus this fuzzy, nut-bucket life and walk on Him - and on Him alone

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....
"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks
"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)
i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes
i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
