“Ask and you will receive." Mt.7 ESV
I often forget to ask for God's help and wind up asking for His forgiveness instead. This is generally the case when I try to face my inner demons alone. Help is always offered to us in the very act of asking for it. The encouragement to ask is God's way of changing our focus from our temptations to the joy of His company. It is always better not to mention easier to redirect our thoughts than it is to resist them. 9/28/2010 Conversations Within ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.

“Eat right, exercise, die anyway!” Anonymous
“What does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the sun?” Ecc.1 ESV
Everybody experiences some sense of frustration and futility. I read once that housework is like stringing beads with no knot on the end of the string. Life is pretty much the same, our efforts never end and we seem never to reach the end of our efforts. One popular notion heard these days is just to enjoy the journey. It was certainly the conclusion of one of the wisest men in history. He said, “Take your portion, and to rejoice in your labor; this is the gift of God.” A person may grow to embrace the struggles of life even delight in them.
It is true that those who eat right and exercise will die anyway but “winners forget they're in a race, they just love to run.” With Honors (the movie)

“I now issue a new commandment: Thou shalt do the dance.” Evan Almighty (The movie)
“Praise him with tambourine and dance.” Ps.150 ESV
Adults often need to be reminded to do the things they once did and did naturally when they were children. I often ask people what they do for fun. The most common reply is “Fun, what's that?” Adults forget how to play, roll in the grass, wade in a creek, or dance in the sheer delight of life. Strange that we need to be reminded to do something we once loved to do. But that is the nature of living in this fallen place. It is one of the things that Jesus has undoubtedly come to fix. I love the quote from the children's book Prince Caspian when the Christ character tells them, “You do not yet look as happy as I mean you to be.” 9/29/2010 Conversations Within ts (Watson Mill)
