Not often you ask for clarification and get it that fast. Never in that way before either.
Is this about you here? Don’t get weirded out – not everything is. Actually most things aren’t. It’s about people- of which you’re one, thus, lessons everyone needs. You’ll figure out why later.
Isaiah seems similar to Revelation, but for the Old Testament. And that part happened. Maybe it’s so you’ll get more down the road when it is time to read other books.
Hopefully not prophetic. News is getting really scary. Might take a week off. Next book He’s on one about is the scary one. Used to be more interesting than scary; now there’s all kinds of stuff going on from AI to bioweapons to EMP’s to good old-fashioned terrorism, thanks to a wide-open border.
It’s probably best if you read it to stay off the news. Don’t make it try to fit into a box. And fold your opinions in; you’re seeing what’s happening, and it’s like a really slow train wreck. People in the West… none of us have a clue how bad things actually were just in the Great Depression. Hopefully it won’t be anywhere near that bad.
No matter what though… it could always be worse. 🤔
Given all the distractions these days, it’s difficult. It’s OK to admit that you just suck at online learning. You’ve always been a learn by doing person. It’s all right. Maybe there’s a course you can take to learn how to learn online online.
Considering there are literally three sets of courses you need to focus on for three different streams, having priorities is necessary. There’s a lot of store learning you need to do to see if you can really hone what you already have going as a baseline. After being out of action for three weeks, sales are terrible and you’re just now getting them back up. Sure it’s tough to buy inventory when there isn’t much money though. Being a lot more discerning with what you get and working on the various tools to improve store standing could help.
Entrepreneur bro has his sights set on getting into govt contracts. Will be a little while before that’s up and running, but getting in now could crush it going forward. You just need to focus on what you’re good at. The other learning is still out there waiting for you to pick back up, and you need to… but holy crap somethings gotta get on the back burner.😂
Sleeping is terrible lately. Naturally that’s affecting everything, but at the very least, your little bout in the hospital has you trying to eat healthier. Rediscovered how amazing brown rice was.
The best way to be driven – or rediscover being driven – is to just…drive.
Take charge somewhere where you know you just…can. Just get a win. Level up again.
From an old VHS tape, this popped into your feed. Reminds you of when you were a kid and audiotaped it off the TV to listen to on the Walkman when you ran. Worked then. Will work now. 😂
Started jogging again. The gym was on the way home from the office, really convenient. It’s definitely worth the short trip, but it’s tough to justify going out when you don’t need to go out for something else. Booking each day with a goal of 50 daily will fix that when you can afford to, but for now, heck, just start running again. You have a gray beard. It’s obvious you aren’t young anymore so there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. And time isn’t an issue because, we’ll, you’re really not gonna be jogging at once too long.😂
It was really frustrating; heavy power walk on a treadmill, incline set at 10, you can go for an hour, but can only jog for a few minutes? Same muscles! With good stamina! WTH? Whatever. If you jog at home, it will save time. And as you can jog longer, you’ll feel better. And hopefully that will be that win you need like the one you got at Table Rock a few years ago.
Made this one yourself 😂
All of the sudden, that little garage bookstore looks like a surprisingly good investment.😂
Fortunately, for you, you’re statistically past the halfway point. And literally the only benefit on earth to not having kids is not having to worry about them being in the world you’ll be leaving behind.
Focusing on what matters is key. All the studying you’ve been doing and you keep putting it off. And as sure as you keep putting it off, He keeps nudging you.
Seriously…
Okay. Tonight’s the night.
Feeling like the next one needs to be Revelation. But if you’re going to do that… turn the news off for a week while you read it.😂
Alright, fine. Let’s hear what Paul has to say that you’ve been avoiding.
Yeah, you really are. Everyone is when it comes to most medical issues, but no, make sure you’re talking about you.😂
Admitting it is therapeutic. Soon as you feel like complaining, just remember and it gives you more strength.
Day four of the liquid diet. System got torn up switching around eating different kinds of food so fast and switching to bananas to try to eat healthier. That’s the theory at least.
Reached the age where you’re starting to not care about tiptoeing around awkward medical issues because everyone has them and you don’t have to act like you don’t anymore. The only take away from that is you’re getting older. Yay.
College football Saturday with Jell-O. Lol oh you poor thing…. 😂
Home. Con was great. Hospital after you go back was not. Hooray for digestive problems. Feels weird that the folks are still the ones taking care of you medically. Freaked out and called an ambulance. No idea what even caused it. Bland foods and fiber for a while. Yay. Small piece of good news is you found out that old issue with the navel is easily correctable, so that’s something that can be put on the calendar.
Spent way too much money at Con, but it was a great time. Not nearly as much as last year, but it was good to go with someone for once. That’s probably not going anywhere but it’s okay. She still had a great time and so did you.
She didn’t have a sip of alcohol the whole time. Steered clear. Lots to like. Views a little out there for you, but someone that shares your journey with the Holy Spirit is just a must. Still hope she goes next year. And has more money. 😂
Working on certifications for freelancing work. Boring and tedious. Beats having a job in something you love so much it ruins it, but be honest that’s just something you’re telling yourself to make it easier. 😂
Definitely feel like the last few months have culminated. It’s weird how that time is almost subdividing itself. Era X is the process of doing various things waiting for event Y.
Opportunity potentially arising to get Ted a very young friend. Not sure if you’re ready. Lots going on, but based on the way life seems to work, this might be the time.
Folks are moving soon. Almost annoying how glad they were to help take care of you at the hospital. Made them feel young again.
So what’s up next? No idea. Resting this weekend eating bland food. Not exactly the most invigorating set up. There was a video game coming out for years that you were excited to play, but had woke crap in it. That’ll save you a lot of time and some money. So glad you’re not neck deep in that hobby like you used to be.
Based on the way, everything seems to be pointing, it’s probably just good that you wrap up 1 Corinthians. You’ve put that off long enough.
It’s a new season. Started off both really well and really badly. Who knows what else it has in store…
I literally walk through hundreds of those across Con dance floor goers, raves, bars, and the like – so many who couldn’t care less about You… some who likely have contempt for You, and it is my honor to pray for them.
Tired of this. So tired. I want to be asleep with my wife at 10. My children sleeping comfortably and n the next rooms over.
The life I don’t have…. for reasons that couldn’t matter less. I’m here. Now. And I want to pray for the well being of those here tonight. All of them. Every last one.
Whether by Your will or my failings, here I am. Either way, blessed with the opportunity to pray for those who need You.
Thank You for the opportunities you have given me. Please forgive my sins. Please hold Z and his wife in Your arms. Fill them with Your love. Heal their marriage. Bless it, as I’d ask you to bless mine.
Here, where there is so much rebellion against You, I ask the most intercession.
Lol maybe it’s all the alcohol. It’s definitely shaped my thoughts here…
I hate that alcohol brings me closer to You. That means sobriety carries inhibitions I have towards You. That’s ridiculous. Please help me resolve that absurdity.
I ask only one thing for myself tonight.
Please let my finest hour in this world to be in my future, and not my past… and that it serves Your will.
It’s Not a Frame of Mind
