  • Back to basics

    As I was writing slowly listening, quickly trusting (link to post)

    Branched thought

    From playing volleyball bad a few weeks ago

    Why was I really upset?

    Yes

    I played terrible

    Yes

    I lost most games

    But

    I was constantly not achieving my goal

    Constantly not placing the ball where I want it to go

    Constantly not passing the ball where I want it to go

    So I hit harder

    Went for other shots I didn’t normally try

    When I needed to slow down

    Choose shots that I was comfortable making

    My version of a layup

    Not a lollipop shot

    But

    Back to something that is basic to Me

    A comfortable sharp cut

  • Someone has to pay

    At, but, before writing never, but maybe post

    Exploring the area, I wandered to the rollercoaster

    Dad, do I have to make it go?

    I said, nope, you just control the braking as you go down

    Cool! Let’s go!

    Wristband please

    Oh you gotta pay for this?

    Yea, we had to buy her a wristband

    That is how they get ya and make their money

    Makes sense

    It is a man made rollercoaster

    So you gotta pay the maker, setter, organizer, host

    What if I just want to use the lift to go up and hike down?

    That will be $35 for the day, but free if you have the annual ski pass

    ^Makes sense^

    It would be free if I hiked up myself

    Imagine if you had to walk or bike up to bike down

    Likely a lot less bikers

    The ones that did

    Appreciate the thrill of coming down

    Differently

    Knowing the work it took to get up

    How much would you pay to wipe away your sin?

    How much would you pay to expunge your record?

    How much would you pay to fix that regret?

    How much would you pay to not run that red light?

    Aka How much would you pay to be free?

    Link AKA post

    Well Jesus paid it for you

    How grateful are you that he paid your bail?

  • Humble…

    While writing No Fair

    God smacked me back to Act 16:16-18

    I was bursting at the seams

    but when my mind wandered into lustful lands

    Example

    Dream 20250824

    Walking with friends

    Tried to cut the corner of a switch back planter

    Grabbed the corner of a chair

    Trusted… in that chair

    And fell

    Foolish ✔️ greedy ✔️ impatient ✔️

    Spirit of humble

    What does it look like
