Grateful, not Dead

Accord v White Tail doe.  No real contest.  Accord needs fixing.  White Tail beyond fixing.

Occurs to me that there is no time to react.

When the event is going to happen, it is too late to act to prevent.  The prevention, if it is going to happen, has to happen in advance.  Loss mitigation was in place.  Incident prevention was not.

It has been a while since I was in an accident.  I am going to learn from this one and use it.

But mostly, I am going to thank my Father in Heaven for his love.

For Show

Saw a show place tonight. We went to the mall on a Saturday night, and observed that it must be just the time and place to go and see and be seen. Seems like the average age was about 17. Almost a costume parade.

It is a safe place, civil, under law, under roof, under climate control technology. It must be a place where parents think they can drop their kids off and they will be okay. Mostly packs of similars.

It is impossible to rise above the pack. The only way up is out and up. Leave your tribe for another. Leaving the tribe is death, though. The only thing that makes it work is if the new tribe is that much better. Better yet, if the new tribe makes you forget the other one, or at least that the other one ever had anything to offer.

Tribe trading. All we are saying is that we have that kind of tribe.

Father, I want to be in that kind of tribe. Help me walk the way members of your tribe walk. Help me smell like you. Help me sound like you. Help me manifest your rest and peace.

State of the Union

The Union is Wonderful. The Union is Strong. The Union is unshakeable. The Union is full of Peace. The Union can weather any storm. The Union is the very reason for any real Hope.

The Union of the Bridegroom and His Bride is a done deal. The Price has been paid. The Union of Christ and His Church is in place.

I talked with the Bride today. She is at rest in the arms of Her Beloved. She is not worried or concerned. She is not distracted from her Holy Husband, by anything happening around Her. The Bride of Christ is very grateful.

I talked with the Bridegroom today. He can not keep his eyes off of Her. He is delighted with His Bride. He loves to here her voice in the morning when she speaks his Name and pauses to listen for His reply. He is delighted with the way she is willing to sit in His peace and quiet to hear him, and at the same time wants so much to be up in the middle of the music dancing for Him.

The Union is Good. When I see the Bride resting Her head on the breast of her Beloved, with no other need and no desire to go anywhere, the Union is good. When I see that and know that the Lamb has received the reward of His sufferings, the Union is Good. Very Good.

Father, thank You for The Union.

Trust God

I do not trust my self. But I trust God. That makes the entire difference.

Still too noisy. Stillness, to sit and rest, is needed. I am okay. Just have to sit here and lean.

Got to stop doing and planning to do.
