.... the worst weekend of the year for me. i hate all the blood and guts and horror of halloween.
.....i have a great ...recognition?... of the evil that is behind it all, and see it as no fun whatsoever.
bah humbug.
stayed home, mellowed. experimented with couscous and minute rice.
today i went out for lunch with friends, i had fruit juice and 2 slices of dry white toast (got adventurous and put a wee bit of jelly on one slice, it was nice)... but it was awesome getting out of the house and being with friends. and their food smelled soooo good... i thoroughly enjoyed it! lols.
shortly after getting home, i hit the sack for about... 4 or 5 hours. i needed it.
tonight i got adventurous with my minute rice and added a couple dashes of garlic powder and dried basil and oregano flakes. it was good!
....oh, how simple life can boil down to, eh? it's good. restful. peaceful.
i swear, times when i'm physically ill have been some of my best times with God. this time, its God ministering His LOVE to my heart, and His REST in a tangible way.
i already feel like laying down for a nap again... not sure if i should try and fight it off for a while, or go with it.... hmm....
... i think i'll go with it. g'night, y'all! ....for now, anyways. ;)
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
