I have the hardest time tearing cling wrap with the serrated cutter on the box.
It’s interesting what an up and down rollercoaster divorce is. I wish it on no one.
I haven’t been inside a mega church in like a decade. I stepped inside one yesterday and was amazed at how much a mega church can grow and the vast amount of resources they have. It felt like I was in a larger version of Terminal D at DFW Airport as I roamed the halls.
Not too long ago, I wrote about a church friend’s saying that acceptance is the answer to all his problems. I’ve been chewing on that one for a while. Then, I started to read Bono’s book, Surrender. It’s 40 stories of how he has surrendered to something greater than he is. That got me to thinking about the difference between acceptance and surrender. I cornered that friend on Sunday and told him that I’ve been chewing on his acceptance quote, and wonder if surrender might be a better word. We didn’t come to a conclusion, but it was more stuff to chew on. I actually asked my son about it after church, and it’s interesting listening to how a children will pick apart the differences between the two words. I’ve also been working on being more present, that is, living in the now, and have been reading Practicing The Power of Now as a daily devotional. I thought it was funny after I finished today’s reading and saw this on the following page.
