Sunshine and Lolliepops

   So much for a "daily" post eh. It's kinda hard to do since the wife hears me clicking away down here writing this one and the "other" blog I write. When I come back and she asked what pearls of wisdom I've shared today and I say "Oh, I didn't write anything today", well, she wonders "why the clattering of the keys. She doesn't know about THIS one."
   I had a pretty good day today. The weather is good, sunshine ALWAYS helps.
    I'm trying hard to come to terms with my Christianity right now. I'm supposed to have "peace and joy" but am not so much experiencing that at the moment.. God never said it would be all sunshine and roses but I don't think I'm exactly where I should be either.
   I DO believe I'm a Christian, I truly think being a Christian and my daughter are the only two things that keep a gun out of my mouth. I AM a different person than I used to be. So SOMETHING happened.
   I'm a stubborn man and have a hard time with authority so living a Christian life isn't always easy for me. Still I try, and I'm much better at it than I used to be. I'm still on the potter's wheel I suppose.
   Pray for me if your so inclined and think of me sometime's if your not. If I can make it anybody can. I appreciate all your kind words and helpful comments.

For some reason, I have been missing your posts--I'm sorry that I have been remiss and will work diligently to correct that!

Now, Will, where have YOU gone? Many of my friends are just disappearing! Even if you just post one or two sentences, it would be good. Then we'd know you were all right!

You are doing fine. God is guiding you, as He does all of us. I do believe that you do have problems with authority... if you were addicted to EVERYTHING! But, you overcame. Your wife doesn't need to know which is your "other" site, but it would probably be easier for you to get things off your mind, if she knew you had two different sites. But, then again, she would probably recognize your writing style and the things you've been through, if she knew and went looking... well, there's no easy solution to ANYTHING, as you well know. Take care. We will pray for you.

I will pray for you. You know, I don't think Christians in general have all mountain top experiences in their daily lives and feel the peace and joy 24/7. Sometimes we are overwhelmed with our trials and struggles and I think that's a part of our journey. But, I also think that when we are at a rocky point in our daily lives, God uses it to help us to grow. It's like being on the potters wheel, it takes time to form into the beautiful person that God wants for us to be. But, I also believe that Jesus understands when we can't seem to feel his peace and his joy. We are only human, Will, and God knows that. Please be gentle on yourself. You know, it takes a lot of guts to rehash past experiences. It takes a lot of courage. God knows that and is with us through it all. Day to day, I think we just have to remember that we are saved through God's grace...nothing more, nothing less.
