Joke:
Two kindergarten kids are talking while having a lunch break.
Girl: What is the capital of America?
Boy: Washington D. C.
Girl: No! "A" is the capital of America. You already forgot our lesson: capitalize proper nouns!
Chanakya : "As long as your body is healthy and under control and death is distant, try to save your soul; when death is immanent what can you do?"
Hm, well dan, its been over a year writing. This is the end. Maybe if you get sent overseas again start again, other than that I don't see it happening. Hope it helped somebody.
What did you learn so far?
1. Believe who God says He is or you don't believe at all.
2. Either take the Bible as it says or you aren't taking it at all. Not what I say or preacher or daddy and mommy or best friend john doe (Gal. 1:6-10)
3. My heart longs for her just as much since day one. I want just her. Nothing has changed nor foresee ably will in that regard. Gosh, I miss her and hope she is ok. Please God,I'm sorry for my wrongs; do something, or let me see something. It hurts.
4. Forgiveness is a choice of constancy and repentance is an act of humility.
5. There is no plank as big as the one in our own eyes.(Matthew 7:3-5)
And the lessons keep on coming....
Hope someone got some laughs or something. One last time.....
Peace,Love, and Blessings
Now and forever
Dan

Oh Wow
Dreams, they seem so real. Real enough that when you wake up, you think you are just continuing it or are in a dream when you wake.
Why God did I dream so vividly last night? Its so vivid that I can feel the dream when I woke and still do.
Dang it I miss and long for her so much!To just hear from her and know she is ok. To hug and hold. I beg for something, just not sure what it's supposed to be! Please God, have mercy on this wretched creature's heart. I beg to stop being this way, tryin to do what You say, I keep messing up. Like a rollercoaster; up and down and upside down.
Please be with her, guide and protect and heal that heart and mind.Maybe someday You will allow ...... Anyhow.
This world is not a home, nor are it's temporary joys and "good" feelings worth the destruction of our hearts and minds it does. Oh God , please I beg for something, I just aint sure what. I just have this longing for her, beyond belief this morning, every day.
Tryin to learn what You want, but it definitely isn't a walk in the park and is contrary to what is being taught and encouraged in this life.
Romans 7:24
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 7:25
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Romans 8:6
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Oh God help! What is the path and how much more will it hurt?

Einstein was a genius
Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.
- Albert Einstein
So Mr. Enstein, you have a point there. Weakness is usually mental vs physical. 99% of the time, it's mental.
I know a guy, he was negative to extent of just craziness. Everything was negative. Found out he probably would lose his job if he didn't shape up. This guy did a 360 and he is more positive in his work and efforts; wow, though he has lots of work to do still, he has come from bottom of barrel, no care, unfit, drunk..... Well, he is kicking butt in not drinking, active and everyone can see how hard he tries that he is getting an exception or extension in shaping up. This is major since others that have been in the same boat are losing their jobs and he is standing out.
Mr. Einstein, bravo.
But you got beat,
Philippians 4:13
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
And
James 1:2
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Attitude, then is key? People abandon others and cheat steal and become angry and hateful and kills people inside. It has killed parts of me and I can only pray it lives again. I have a feeling it has killed parts of many people and her, in ways we ignore and deny.
God, what do we do? In the words of Paul : "Romans 7:24
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? "
And
Romans 7:25
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Romans 8:1
Chapter 8
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Please God, ask a miracle. Please..... Your will, my hands and not my attitude.
Teach us, please, though I'm scared that if You listen to it, the lessons are gonna be long and hard and hurt. Whatever You say and do.....(Gulp )

Evening of October 2 2011 tempted ways
Evening
"He himself hath suffered being tempted."
Hebrews 2:18It is a common-place thought, and yet it tastes like nectar to the weary heart--Jesus was tempted as I am. You have heard that truth many times: have you grasped it? He was tempted to the very same sins into which we fall. Do not dissociate Jesus from our common manhood. It is a dark room which you are going through, but Jesus went through it before. It is a sharp fight which you are waging, but Jesus has stood foot to foot with the same enemy. Let us be of good cheer, Christ has borne the load before us, and the blood-stained footsteps of the King of glory may be seen along the road which we traverse at this hour. There is something sweeter yet--Jesus was tempted, but Jesus never sinned. Then, my soul, it is not needful for thee to sin, for Jesus was a man, and if one man endured these temptations and sinned not, then in his power his members may also cease from sin. Some beginners in the divine life think that they cannot be tempted without sinning, but they mistake; there is no sin in being tempted, but there is sin in yielding to temptation. Herein is comfort for the sorely tempted ones. There is still more to encourage them if they reflect that the Lord Jesus, though tempted, gloriously triumphed, and as he overcame, so surely shall his followers also, for Jesus is the representative man for his people; the Head has triumphed, and the members share in the victory. Fears are needless, for Christ is with us, armed for our defence. Our place of safety is the bosom of the Saviour. Perhaps we are tempted just now, in order to drive us nearer to him. Blessed be any wind that blows us into the port of our Saviour's love! Happy wounds, which make us seek the beloved Physician. Ye tempted ones, come to your tempted Saviour, for he can be touched with a feeling of your infirmities, and will succour every tried and tempted one.
