JUNE GLOOM

It's been cloudy in San Clemente the past few days. It's almost as if June said, "I want to see how much gloom I could sneak in before I end." I love the weather, but the month has been a rather trying one. Monumental in the course of life.

ENDURE

There 's a hint of it throughout youth, you know things will get harder as you get older. You are asked to endure whatever comes your way. If it wasn't for Jesus, it'd be seemingly impossible. We know that in Him we can triumph because He has overcome the world.

INCONSISTENCY

Today I awoke to inconsistency. I made it to work early, only to walk sluggishly to the door. I sat down outside of the door early in the morning not wanting to go in. This world is consistently inconsistent. Then I recapitulated all the beautiful things recognizing His consistency.

STARTING CARS

I've been having trouble with the connection in my battery lately. I've gone to start my car about five different times and it doesn't start at first. So now every time it turns over I notice it; something so simple that I took for granted before. Count your blessings.

PIXAR

Besides the fact that I own every one of their movies; they really have not made a bad movie yet. Every single movie they've produced is just overwhelming with emotion and entertainment, even the shorts before the movies are great, hitting all the bases and accepted by all ages!

TWO

Man has a great capacity; daily faced with decisions with two different outcomes. Each outcome brings a new decision with another two different outcomes. Imagine the endless possibilities; how much damage we can do, or life we can bring. Jesus chose the right outcome everyday for His whole life.

CAUGHT UP

No this isn't about the rapture. The bible warns us about distractions and laziness. We hear our calling, see the forks in the road in front of us, then choose a direction. Today I leave you with this; You only go as far as you let God take you.

DEITY

"In Christ, the fulness of the Deity lives in bodily form;" Colossians 2:9 NIV. Sometimes He calls us to conquer insurmountable odds. The world slips out of color and we are left holding onto Him alone; His unchanging Lordship, His sweeping love that can't fail, and His sovereign Deity.

GOOD GRIEF

Any time you have fun, any time you have a day worth remembering. Remember it's from His hand. Anything that's good in your life is because you're getting a taste of God; because He is goodness. You only experience good on earth because He exists. Imagine if He didn't.

OTHER PEOPLE

I thank God for people. Think about this... Instead of harboring bitterness; imagine a world without people. How alone you would be; nothing you did or owned would be important. I am thankful for the simple existence of other humans. They give me an opportunity to laugh and love.

ENTERTAINING THOUGHTS

To avoid attachment and sin, which will separate us from God, we must let go of ourselves and do what we know is right. This is done by not allowing ourselves to entertain the thoughts that we know are wrong that lead us astray. Don't give sin a chance.

SPITE

James 3:16; Out of our natural vain selfishness we seek revenge and disharmony for how the world affects us, causing disorder and spiting those we do not care for. God calls us beyond that inclination rectifying the situation(s) with love, achieving that trademark, setting us apart from the world.

JEALOUSY

"You'll worship no other God, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God." If you wonder why sometimes you go through great loss, remember this. God desires your heart. You will not love anybody more than, or place anything else above Him. He won't have it.

MOTIVES

I have no motivation to get out of bed lately, some days I wake up and just want to roll over. This day was a new opportunity to serve God and bring people into His kingdom. Although I failed at both, I need to remember we’re children of light

SMALLVILLE

I realized I need to pay homage (I predetermined I wanted to work that word in here) to one of my other favorite shows. I've been watching it week by week since season one. It just finished it's best season I've seen and is going on for one more!
