I choose the TRUE ROAD...

Some people aren't quite fans of the Eugene Peterson's paraphrase of the Bible, THE MESSAGE, but I am. Or rather... I have come to be.

This practically captures it all for me... I couldn't have described it better myself...

"I'm feeling terrible—I couldn't feel worse!
Get me on my feet again. You promised, remember?
When I told my story, you responded;
train me well in your deep wisdom.
Help me understand these things inside and out
so I can ponder your miracle-wonders.
My sad life's dilapidated, a falling-down barn;
build me up again by your Word.
Barricade the road that goes Nowhere;
grace me with your clear revelation.
I choose the true road to Somewhere,
I post your road signs at every curve and corner.
I grasp and cling to whatever you tell me;
God, don't let me down!
I'll run the course you lay out for me
if you'll just show me how."

Psalm 119:25-32 (The Message)

Them creative types...

You know how they say them creative types are usually temperamental, emotional with weird-ass mood swings?

What about those like me who are sooooo not creative, but still temperamental, emotional with weird-ass mood swings? I have no words to describe myself...

It's disgusting... I'm not satisfied because I know I should be filled with joy. His joy is my strength, and any thing else is just a temporary high.

I've been quite (read: VERY) moody of late. Of course being a guy you kinda just put on a brave front and act like everything's all cool. But this week's been a sort of an emotional roller coaster...

Sitting in the silence...

Have you ever been in one of those moods where you just wish for a friend who'd be willing to just sit with you in the silence? You're not in the mood for talking, but you would like a friend to just come sit with you... letting you know that he's there.

It's one of them days
Where I ain't much for words
But would appreciate the company
Now would you come sit with me?
