the song FELL IN LOVE WITH THE GAME
You take me by the hand and I grab You by the throat
And we come crashing down through the window
On the dirt ground below
And we wrestle in the mud and the blood and the beer
Break my jaw I don’t care
Just stay with me, stay
Lock my arms I don’t want to move
Hold me still teach me how to weep
If it’s ok with You I think I’ll stay here
For a little while
wrestling with God is part of being human. he created us, we drove ourselves to ruin and were ruined. he offers blood. whether we choose the blood-or not, we fight, it is a lifelong experience and practice. i just really like the description christian gives in this song of his wrestlings with god.
the part that sticks out right now is the line "hold me still teach me how to weep"
its shotgun of a statement! we are always wanting to twist and run and squirm and...move. the verse in matthew comes to mind-I played the flute for you but you did not dance, i sang a song of lament but you did not mourn. it has very little to do with that verse but i think we in america fail in every way to experience compassion, remorse, we fail to "weep" for others. i really dont know how to explain myself right now in words but it burns and i have the same prayer (if that was his intention behind these words and they are not merely words.)
God hold me still and teach me how to weep, give me a compassion and honesty and help me bleed.
i got out of work so quickly tonight. we close at 10:30...jody and i finished up and left at 10:23...terrible day for money at the LD.
The rich and poor have this in common, the Lord is the Maker of them all.
Proverbs 22:2
You give and i take, i give and you bless.
unselfish.
Its odd to me that God knows my entire being, it is also important i find that i tell him what he knows about me as if he knew nothing at all, this is for my sake and his magnification i guess.
here are pictures of the table paintings abi and i have done so far. the frist is a japanese wave, the second of 3 nigerians dressed to impress.
in love and hope,
