Inspiration

I notice that topics seem to come in groups and everything that I learn for a period of time are on the same topic even from different sources.  From my post from a little while ago I talked about 5 relationships that reflect the relationship that we have with our Father in Heaven.  Sure enough the lesson that I was able to give in church was on Inspiration and understanding it.  I know that God is always broadcasting to us direction and power to help us go forward.  Now is our choice to connect to or not from this message, direction, or could even say power.  So I have been trying to understand when communication is coming from God and I found a exercise that we can use to practice cutting through the static by sitting in a crowded place and listen to one thing and picture in your mind what it is that you are hearing and visualize in your mind in as much detail as possible.  Practice cutting through all the other noise to focus on one thing and then as you practice this you will find that you can better focus on the inspiration that comes from God and follow this.  You can even envision the face of the individual that is communicating to you.   I had an experience tonight as I was praying to God about a friend of mine that I felt very strongly that God Loved him and that he loved me as a Father and that my relationship is separate of any other relationship that I have in my life.  God Loves me!  I want to be in tune with the message that he is sending.

Is there any opportunity in chaos? Can there be any success in uncertainty?

It is now in this economic climate that the desire is to blame the economy for why business isnt working or why it is that we can't find a job. The reality is that we have a great chance to organize and to deliver that order that so many people are starving for.

So I had a great insight tonight listening to a cd.  I realize the connection between me and God is not so good.  I am on the wrong frequency.  He is still broadcasting but I am not hearing it because I may be on the wrong station.  I need to Seek him.  I also need to exercise my listening muscles so that I can hear.  I have out of frustration turned it all off.
5 relationships that reflect my relationship with God are
1. My earthly Dad and Mom
2. Authority figures Teachers, Doctors, Dentist, Scout Master, Bishop, etc.
3. Extended Family
4. Chores
5. Order and organization.

I also realized that I have the opportunity to look at what heaven is like and realize that anything that is in me that is not there will not be able to go with me.

Declaration of Independence!

I have had this post stuck in me for about 2 weeks now and I have to get it out.

Being that is around our independence day I have had this thought circling around the idea of Declarations. As I have been doing my own Declarations and also as I have been teaching others about theirs I have heard and seen a common theme of " I can't say that because it is not true, yet." I have heard that little voice in my head and every other that I have taught about these things has said the same thing atleast once in a session. I pondered on how to answer this objection and then the inspiration hit me. The Declaration of Independence!

When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence it was not true either. He with all the others that were signing that document were committing treason. I am sure the King of England was to say the least a bit bent when he read this Declaration. Just the same as the enemy to all of us is when we Declare any freedom from him and his habitual oppression. Before the ink had dried the forces of evil began to conspire to smash the will and spirit of these men and this fledgling democracy. I can image that thoughts were something to the effect: Are you crazy, England is much stronger with a trained army to crush you! Maybe if you apologize he will forget anything ever happened. Thats not true yet, you can't declare independence until it is true.

This battle of thoughts was just the precursor to the real bloody life taking battle that was about to fall upon us as a country. It was in this act that we learn what it is that we must do after we declare anything in our life and that is to FIGHT FOR IT! I am so grateful to the founding fathers and there example of ones that Declared and then Fought for it to make it true.

It is not the fact that our declaration in not true it is that we have not amassed enough proof YET! Let us declare what it is that we want to have in our life and then fight to bring it about.

Spring is here!

It has been a long great winter. We have been doing snow removal and had some really great storms that have provided for quite a few early mornings that grew into 24 and even 43 hour work days at the most. It is a great felling to have to finally see some snow melting off and the green is begining to poke out. I am amazed at how a winter can renew your appreciation for green and flowers. Time to plan the garden

Back on the Wagon

It has been a long time since I have blogged. I think this is a catalyst for good and change.

Measurements

41.5" waist 47.5" chest 44.5" stomach These are all the measurements that I really care about changing. BMI is 33.6 which I am not really sure what that means but my wife is really smart so I will trust her.

Back on the wagon

I am once again back around to the idea of improving my life one decision at a time. I have really enjoyed making bad decisions for the past year. I have balloned back to 255 lbs and I am making the commitment now to make better decisions from this point forward. I know that if I will 1.Pray 2.Read Scriptures 3.Write in my journal 4. Exercise 5. Plan that is the pattern of habit to a fit and trim body that is healthy to work hard and play hard. I am loving the being strong physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I am being a great father, husband, friend, servant, and president. I love the words of encouragement that I get from others when they say that I look great or when I have my shirt off they say don't bother putting another shirt on. This is going to happen on decision at a time. We are the sum of our decisions.
