  • Relate

    202603111345m2f6

    Relate to nothing feeling clean enough (messy home cleaning floors, organizing)

    Relate to succumbing to vice

    But not too deep into hard drugs

    But wanting to feel something

    Food. Drink. Scream. Smoke. Frustration

    Relate to having the fridge empty for less stress

    Driving back after backyard bowls bday breakfast with Benson

    Relate by for King& country

    Sendy constantly on my mind

    Relate to the dumpster being the new home for spring cleaning

    Relate to my world Unraveling by diving into the past and learning about Jesus

    Relate to the refrigerator. Anxiety of being filled

    Relate to needing a whole day laying around and doing nothing

    Relate to being disappointed in people

    Relate to daily simple tasks being so difficult

    Relate in the awe of the glory of creation

    Relate to eating everything

    Relate to eating nothing


  • Feel now

    202603100722mh6f8

    I can practice snapping into focus

    And reassigning feelings

    To good ones


    Feel the pain

    In your muscle

    Focus and feel what it is attached to

    Feel all around it

    By moving it

    Experiencing it

    Responding to it

    Explore it

    Stretch it

    Flex it

    Learn its anatomical name

    Learn its purpose

    Learn how it is fueled

    Learn how it is strengthened


    Feel the pain

    Of the shame

    Focus on why it occured

    Focus on what you were doing

    On what you could have done

    On what was out of your control

    On what was not your fault

    On what impact it had how you act now

    On how God has turned it into good

    Do not worry about why

    Do not worry about vengeance of injustice

    Do not worry understanding outside God’s Will

    Focus on feelings in the current second moment and circumstance

    Final thought
  • Two tree sermon

    20260215mh1f7

    Bring your problems to Jesus

    Baptize them in the Living Water


    Not a fan of my neighbor’s mannerisms

    Yet love them

    Constantly question and test

    Even the pastor

    Pay attention

    God wink at mission church parking

    Frank and Michael relationship


    Empty the wraith from the cup


    Holy Spirit pray you help me see them

    Like you see them


    Do not react until you bring it to God


    Increase patience

    By baptizing your thoughts in God


    Repent/confession

    Rips out of your flesh

    And puts it on the alter


    Pray

    Unfulfilled desires and put it on the alter

    Pray

    Until I get peace that surpasses all understanding


    Continue to pray

    Not just one session

    Not just before eating

    Not just every morning

    Every moment until you get your answer


    The kingdom of God

    Is a living reality

    Not a framework

    Not equally yoked with darkness

    Nor sin

    Nor others that practice sin

    Not natural with my new nature


    Marriage

    The coming together of two worldst

    Two become one flesh


    Must serve someone else’s vision

    Work

    Scriptural

    You cannot take the kingdom by force

    Cannot only inherit it (Esau)

    Must be bestowed (Joseph)


    My selfish ambitions are dying at the alter

    That is Good


    Never let go what God has given you


    The more power

    The more authority

    The more responsibility

    The more trust

    Requires more patience

    Requires more humbleness

    Required more gentleness

    Requires more connection to the vine

    To produce the fruit of the vine

    To whom much is given

    Much is entrusteda

    And judged by the same rule


    Fear is beginning of reality

    Sincerity matters


    Mentally saw a gold dragon the size of the room paw up to the alter

    Like a dog on the window sill

    Jumped back to the church

    Then straight up the heaven


    Pastoring is more like crucification
