Post take 2

Ever start writing a post and get about half way through it and realize it's really stupid? Man, I just wrote a really crappy post. Ick.

So, Jeanette and I came up with this fun game awhile back, when we see someone who really catches our eye, we make up some dramatic tragic story about them and how they ended up here. Like the mexican guy who walked up and down the road in our apt. complex every day on crutches. He became more than just "That Mexican on Crutches" he was Miguel, who broke his leg after saving 4 children from a burning apartment building on the 3rd floor. The crazy guy i see most mornings leaving that gas station talking to himself becomes Steve, the genius who worked out for himself a working do it yourself cold fusion reactor but because he looks crazy no one will listen when he tries to tell them about it.

It's a lot of fun and if I ever get time to be a famous writer I'll totally write it all in a book and make 100's of dollars.

How can we understand our path?

This verse popped up this morning in Proverbs 20 and it caught my eye because it's totally what i need today.

"How can we understand our path, when it is God who directs our steps?"
It made me stop and think about what that means.
When you go somewhere, it's not the path that matters, it's the destination that you're concerned about. The path is a temporary thing. It's the constantly changing circumstances that we're surrounded with. As we walk we start looking down at the path and wonder how the heck we got here and why we have to walk through this mess...

A job we hate
A job we don't have
Losing a loved one
Sickness
Fear
Depression

The list goes on, but we're all there. Life doesn't make sense to us if we're looking at the path.

But the problem comes when we forget the other half of the verse, "...when it is God who directs our steps." God doesn't just give us an address and tell us to find our own way. He'll never say "well just head up over that hill there, then take a left, then you're gonna head on that way for a fur peace then you're gonna come to a fork in the road..." It says He directs our steps. He takes you to the destination but he tells you where to step every step of the way. "Step here. ok, here. alright step here..." God isn't the Yellow Pages, that give you an address and makes you figure it out for yourself. God isn't the old codger at the gas station that gives you directions based on markers. God is more like the Seeing Eye Dog for the blind guy, He knows the destination and how to get there and He sees things you don't. Sometimes He'll take you the long way 'round, and sometimes he'll shortcut you through the woods... But He knows what He's doing, and He's not going to leave you.

Even if you let go of the leash.

The State of The World

Tibet may never become a fully recognized country. China keeps saying "Solly we waiting on paypa' wok"

What China doesn't seem to get is that Tibet's been going through the ringer on this for along time now and is gettin pretty fed up with getting pushed aside. China would benefit greatly from recognizing Tibet, but the way it's going it might not happen.

Tibet just might stop caring what China thinks and start talking to the U.S.
Tibet really likes China though.
