the princess of obuda and I are completing a road trip… I just commented to said princess that I don’t get why people like long trips in cars… but I get it that its the only way sometimes… but trains are far better… posted from I-64

todays entry in “My Utmost” gives a clear philosophy for rule one

rest – it’s important… try it…

the results are spiritual, mental and physical… yes, it’s hard to do for some of us… and it’s hard work to get ready for it… but it is important… rest… maybe some of us need to get to the point where we must have it… but, find it… it’s important, why?

“Be still…

…and know that I am God”

until we are still, we don’t reach Him as we can in still-ness

rest, it’s important.

I was channel surfing the other night (did you know cable watchers – I am not – can watch Law and Order about 10 times every day? and Star Trek at least 3?) ANYWAY, I stopped at the news and saw a picture of Radovan Karadzic, I sat straight up… could it be? YES, he had been captured! The people of the Balkans again hold their breath… to understand more about the current situation surrounding this butcher of humans and the swirl of politics that is Serbia and the EU, read this opinion from The Economist, when there, other articles are linked, including this one CLICK HERE, which gives the reader a good basic history of the killer.

walking on the beach
every few seconds
the wave smooths the sand
the little girl
following her dad
must stay near
to see the footprints
so they don’t fade into the wash of the wave
following God means being intentional
about keeping our eye on the footprints
of God

sitting on the porch, watching the waves, they are constant, they are ceaseless, my bed faces the ocean, I hear the waves, they can be counted on, like God.
