When will I learn? I feel like I am the kid that keeps putting his hand on the oven and always getting burned. When am I gonna stop touching the hot oven? Even as I type this, I am doing the same thing...I am reaching for the oven. I went to bed hecka late last night...knowing that I had to get up early. So, how was my atitude? Funky! And I don't mean...SPOKEN FUNK-Y. I mean...just plain stank. It didn't help that the day was just WHATEVER. Lost my phone...my TV, landline phone and my fricken internet was off. And I didn't hear the greatest news at my wife's doctor's appointment. Ughhh.
I am not sure where the fricken paragraph breaks goes, so I just put one anywhere.
All of these things made up for a pretty lousy day. It ended pretty well, though. I got a new phone. And then I came home and found my old one. But, I found out I can sell that mug on ebay for a pretty good price. Why do people want the 2g phone again? Whatever is clever. Whatever that means. I chilled with my children for a just a little bit before it was time for them to go to sleep and then I watched the end of Celebrity Apprentice with my wife. So glad Joan won. I know I am late, but doggone it, I finally watched it. I asked Juren what are we gonna do now? All of our shows are off. No more American Idol and no more Celebrity Apprentice. Maybe we can gt back to watching the Office.
So, anyway, back to the stupid oven again. I am reaching and about to be so close from touching it again. How many times can I get burned? It is late again and I am up again on the computer. To my defense, I hadn't been on allllllllll day. I had a lot of work to do. But, the truth of the matter is I have to drive to San Louis Obisbo tomorrow and then perform that night. I have a pretty long day. What am I doing up? Go to bed, Poetri. Go to Bed.
Why do I care to waste another day being FUNKY. I dang near cussed some folks out today. The folks at Best Buy who almost didn't take my camera back. The rental car company people who said I have to have a major credit card instead of my debit card and fricken Verizon for turning off all my stuff. Yea, I was pretty pissed today. And it all stems from a lack of rest.
It also stems from my lack of GOD. Yea, I am not getting my fix. I am not getting high off the LORD. I have been slacking. Backsliding. Tripping on the devil's shoelaces. I need to get back to glory. Get back to prayer. Get back to worship. Get back to concentrating on what is important. The only thing that is important. GOD. The one and only.
I pray, Lord that my trip tomorrow is a safe and fun one. I pray that I am well rested to give my best performance. I pray that I touch lives all along the way to the stage. I pray that I encourage someone to turn to you, Lord. I pray that I encourage myself to turn BACK to you, Lord. I pray that I pray. Please allow me to pray. Let me get back on it. Allow me to read the Bible and really study your word tomorrow. Halleluyah. Thank you, Jesus for your paitience with me. I know that I am a handful. But, since you can do all things, I am piece of cake to you. Enjoy me tomorrow. Allow me to make you smile. Use me. Change me. Help me. Give me strength. Halleluyah. Let this not be the last time I talk to you. Let's have an ongoing conversation tomorrow and for all the rest of the days of my life. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you for all things.
These and all other blessings I ask in your name...Jesus name...AMAN!
But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Keep it Natural.
