Thanks for sharing your postings. I look forward to laughing my head off (I read the old noodle-in-the-nose post) and being encouraged (your most recent post) whenever I allow myself the luxury of sitting down and just browsing on the computer.

Yet, it is still a struggle to not want to earn that free grace! From childhood we're taught that "there's no such thing as a free lunch", or "nothing's free-you just pay for it somewhere else", or "there's always a string attached". It's a beautiful, humble pill to swallow-that God's grace really is free. Thanks for commenting. I love that book! Yet, it is still a struggle to not want to earn that free grace!

But then your thought about tomorrow being a “great day” reminded me of this line I read in a book today — The Discipline of Grace by Jerry Bridges:

Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God’s grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God’s grace.

Sola gratia!

After all, I'm an adult, I am of age to manage anything the Gov. allows me to (Drive, vote,etc...). Surely I can handle anything that comes my way. Then God stirs the waters of my life like a little whirl pool in a puddle and says, "Try to stop it!". No matter how hard I try, another ripple appears and I am forced to see my small place in His oceanic plan. I'm realizing that is not a terrible place to be. "Why the little whirl pool" I may ask? God simply replies, " So you can realize just how much you need me." Sometimes it is easy to think that being caught up in something we have no control of is a bad place to be.

Sometimes that means computer time is put away for a long while and I focus on what God wants me to do. I plan to do just that. Take a big amount of time and surround myself with praise music and His word. Maybe listen to a sermon or two as I clean up this messy house. It's time I refocus and please my Heavenly Father.
