had a rough start, a veddy rough start actually, but things picked up after lunch. went to pammies for a visit and we watched a movie with her two boys, then went to danies and ate pizza and fixed computer woes (as usual, she needs me to fix her muddles, lol!) and helped b.boy make a blog. now if i can only get his momma hooked too, things would be good! and had nummy pizza.
i'll be a bit bare for a minute, i'm a bit discouraged that no one has posted any comments.... i don't know why it should bug me so much, like i've done something bad and people don't like my blog anymore, and there i just hit the nail on the head, it's my fear-of-messing-up-and-being-abandoned-as-a-thus-deserved-consequence hypervigilance issue, as usual. see why i blog? word vomit generally results in personal revelation. it's an odd equation, but it works.
[....no really, was it my poo story? too much information?....]

the goal: to focus this fuzzy, nut-bucket life and walk on Him - and on Him alone

Outcast, Adopted.
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
