Where did those saxes come from?

Estimated Prophet.  Where did they come from?

Thumbs up, Thumbs down.  The interactive radio of Pandora.  Makes me feel important to be able to effect my listening list without buying the music.  Kind of a halfway place between owning and radio.  Makes a man feel powerful.  ;-) 

We need that so badly.  To believe we are the masters of something.  To feel significant in some tiny way.  To be able to shape our world, our experience in some way.  But then when it comes to sensations, we can do that.

But what can we shape for others from the tiny human love we have?  The best of us has love that distracts others from the desperate ache for rest and peace.  The distraction is so temporary.  As soon as the relief sets in we know it is temporary.  That is why we don't even trust Christ.  We are waiting for the Gospel to wear off.

Father, I am a little oil pot, short and stout.  Here is my handle, here is my spout.  When I get all filled up, hear me shout, "Tip me over and pour me out!"

Fill me up with the Spirit of You, until I can not hold any more and I know it.  My only recourse is for you to pour me out on someone.
