The whirlwind continues....

The end of a very busy workweek, with lots of major things going on, enough to make my head spin, requiring me to be on my game. Totally draining. One redeemer: a technology class earlier in the week getting me more familiar with Flickr, mySpace, and Library Thing, among other stuff. So, yes, I've been geeking out on that in the evenings and now you see random books from my library to the right. It's pretty neat-o to see what other folks own, and what they don't. Of the books entered from my stuff so far, interesting to see that Wuthering Heights is the most owned, and that what? no one else owns Ginger Spice in My Pocket?

Overcorrecting....

Tuesday's challenging time went better than I could have expected, but I should not be surprised, since I was not doing it alone. I continue to learn lessons about prayer, and how indeed when we ask we do receive. There was an immediate clearing of energy blocks, a mixture of the woo-woo and the J-way that so far has not proven to be incompatible. The rest of the week was filled with a buoyant productivity that definitely was not happening before. Yet I fear I have overcorrected, and am starting to feel a little tickle at the back of the throat--a sure sign of energy mismanagement. Either that or an inevitable summer cold as a result of going from AC to 100+ degrees....

inSpirit--show yourself now...

Today promises to challenge all of my inner strength and discernment in retooling a work relationship. Have had much advice from the usual confidantes, as well as the new Confidante, presenting conflicting world views and suggested approaches (not surprisingly). Does God ever want us to be project more ego vs. less? I can't think of any scriptural support for that, and when folks in the Bible do that, they get themselves into one sort of mess or another. The theme from the new church t-shirt (among similar thoughts) must be in the forefront today: Love Wins.

Vive la France.... la guerre, c'est merde

First July post and it's half over, the sign of much happening offline. Today is Bastille Day, a great opportunity to eat French food, drink wine and celebrate life, which is a wonderful thing to do in the midst of the crazy world events--people making war when they should be loving one another and taking care of those less fortunate. The contrast between man's activities and the Way of Jesus has never been more apparent, and yet many will continue to be deceived. Against my better judgment, I am listening to Air America while I cook.

MAS will be four in a month.

We saw, enjoyed, and are still pondering a visit by Rob Bell to our fair, overly hot city. The theme: Everything is Spiritual. This lesson continues as I learn how to integrate God's principles at work where several folks and their energies challenge me on a daily basis. It's a good time to be away from that for a Friday off.

Vive la France~! Vive le vin!
