Play

My play is December 18 now, I don't care if people come or not, I am not sure how good it will turn out.

Unnecessary

So, I am home for a few minutes on break. I got a glass of water dumped on me by a costumer. They were asked to pull forward for a moment, while they were finishing getting their order. Well, I was asked to bring it to them. I greeted them, thanked them, and apologized for the wait. Then when I am walking away they flung a water all over me. Not some small amount either. It was a group of teenage boys, and one girl. I know the girl, but she doesn't know me. I know her name was Melissa, and that she had braces, and that she talks very softly, and in high girlish tones. But, that was how I started out my day...Soaked. My hair is still wet, and that was at 8:30 this morning. OK, well I just wanted to say that it was odd, and now even seems kinda funny, not many people have that happen to them. But, I have to get back to work.



I think I want this shirt:

The Blood

The life of the flesh is in the blood. Leviticus 14.

If the life of the flesh is in the blood, then wouldn’t the life of the Spirit be in the Blood of Jesus also? If so, then which blood is coursing through my heart every moment of every day? Which blood am I gaining my life from? Which blood gives me the ability to draw each breath?

How is it then that if I want to walk in the Spirit, that I am not covered in the blood? If I live in the Spirit, that means I must draw my life from that Spirit. Meaning I would have to go through the cross. Die to my flesh, draining the blood of the flesh, filling every vein, and organ, and blood vessel with the blood of the cross. The blood of the Jesus, the giver of life, by His blood. I have heard that phrase so very many times, but it truly makes sense now. Jesus is the giver of life. He died, giving me life, by covering my transgressions, and allowing the Holy Spirit to come enter in.

Then, if the two bloods just happen to mix? What would that mean. A little bit of leaven leavens the whole bunch. Does that apply here? Would that not be the makings of a hypocrite, would that not be a holy abomination? I am asking, because I don’t know. Or would the power of The Blood kill whatever life was in the blood of the flesh? Would it cover the DNA of the flesh, replacing it with its’ own?

I can’t escape the continual repetition of this going through my head, for two weeks now I have been pondering this.

I desire to live in the Spirit, to draw every breath fom that Spirit. I desire to die to self, and have every drop of my blood replaced with Christ's. That is so mind boggling to me, that Christ would be so gentle and patient with me. That He would be willing to go through the long…long process with me, watching me mess up, and still urging me to get up, and keep going. That He would walk with me, as long as I walk too, that when I lose strength, He will be right there too uphold me. That as long as I cloth myself in His blood, His righteousness, that He will make intercession for me with the Father.

My life is based on my death at the cross.

ACT-anything done, being done, or to be done; deed; performance(not really)

I got my ACT scores back. I made a 23. I figured it would be around there. I am most definately going to take it again. But, for now, I keep studying. What is going on tomorrow? I get off work at 5. Are we planning anything fun? Maybe we could finally cover the pool, and race cars over it. I will come home and vaccum the pool so we can. It may be kinda cold though. It is not the sort of thing where you can burry your hands in your pocket, they are kinda subjected to the ice cold freezing-ness.I suppose gloves could solve that problem though.

The Prestige

Lauren, Bekah and I just went to see it. Yes, BJ, we saw your car, It was a GREAT movie, well worth money to see it again, and even more worth buying. They say the other p*** word for pee-pee, but that is all, unless you are a French Christian, and know what the word "bloody" means, then it may be a somewhat offensive movie, because that is said a lot. I enjoyed it immensely!!!Yes, it was my second trip to the theatre today.

Loss for words.

I am unsure what to post about. It is Thanksgining, I have had a nice relaxing day. I have nothing to do now, not really, I just don't feel like doing the things I have to do. I think I will just turn on my electric blanket and watch a few episodes of Sinfield. I work tomorrow from 11-8, I think that is the earliest I have ever gotten off on a friday. We were way overstaffed today, like to the point where I had cleaned possibly everything in sight, and you know you can never clean enough at McDonald's, but I had. I resorted to emplying the sauce holders and cleaning them, from there I cleaned the sugar, cream, and salt holders. THen I asked my boss what to do, and she said stand around like everybody else. I don't like to do that. so I stocked things, cleaned the coffee pot, and top part(where the grounds are). Then I stood. It was ridiculous, then for the last hour, I was on back cash, and took a total of 3 orders. I collected around 14 dollars, and gave out $1.68 cents change. There were two credit card orders in that time as well. We were very slow. Slow enough for me to know the ammount of money I gave and recieved. I came home, showered ( I do that everytime I get off, I just feel like I have McDonald's germs all over me) then made a salad dressing, and we had lunch. Then my family and I went to see Happy Feet, some parts were cuter than others, but is was in general a cute, but not well done movie. Bekah described the ending as them getting bored with making it, so they just stopped, and said, "Here , save the penguins!! Bye!!" It kinda does end like that. But I am having a goo day, enjoying not putting up Christmas lights. This may be one of the longest pointless posts I have ever posted. Oh, well.

So, I changed it

I need help fixing my picture. I found a Calvin and Hobbs template too. Well, I have to get ready, my family is going to see Happy Feet.

I figured out how to do this quicker at school.

So, I have tons of homework, I got the important stuff done already though. I have like 3 questions to answer for physics.

I am sick of false humility.

Over the past few days I have really been able to evaluate a lot of things in and around my life. I say I hate sin. Could that be true? I think I hate only some sins, because if I truly hated all sin, I don't think I could continue falling back to old sinful habits. I do know for sure that any sin separates me from God, it may be that I hate the separation, more than the sin itself. Then he says "If you love me, keep my commandments." Do I love Him? Not according to my actions.

I don't want to come before God with a false humility, so I simply put off doing anything about it. I don't ask Jesus to give me true repentance, and true humility. I know that is what I have to do, but doing it is the hard part. That means I have to be willing to lay down my flesh, and say God YOU do with me as YOU see fit. YOU take out what is not pleasing to YOU, Put in only what is glorifying to YOU. That means no more of me. I think that is where the false humility comes from. I want to live for my flesh, but with the "benefits" of walking with God, and do you know what that is...Humanism. Using God as a means to an end. Wow, I never thought I would say that, but that is what it is. It is no lover about what God wants, but what Jordan wants. So now as Paris Reidhead would say, "it is time for me to get out of the drivers seat, and hand the keys over to God, climb in the trunk, close the hood, and whisper through the key hole, 'Here, you take the keys, go wherever you want to go, and do whatever you want to do, I am in your hands now' and that is true humility" That is saying that I understand my flesh, and I want no part in it, so to protect myself from myself, I put my flesh in a place where it will have no control of what God would have me do.


Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? 2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. *Yet you do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. 4 *Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously"?
6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:


"God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble."*


7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
~James 4:1-10
