Conspicuously Shuffling Krispy Kreme, Chocolate Milk, and Freshly Baked Hampton Inn Cookies...

... as a good ole dad squanders about with his two sons.

It's obvious that the health-freaked mom is staying at home as the three desperate boys enter my gates of the majestic Hampton Inn & Suites NASA Cearlake. Watching the dad herd the boys in hurriedly and exclaimed "Hey, look here JR (insert name), let's take these too" soon followed by a young blond lad gasping and frolicking about his newly founded loot. Quite the musing.

The past two days have been pretty revelating for me. I sat down with a shrink.... well, actually a friend of mine from Freed who has a masters in Counseling and just kinda bounced off thoughts and reflections about my life. Thanks Bethy Ann....(a pet name... she's not a hick or anything).

Today was a great day because I got to spend some meditation time with God. Last year I bought this audio Bible with the intention of listening to it on my long drives home from Freed. I also intended to listen to it on random drives altogether. However, I soon learned that ADD conglomerates such as myself do not take well to listening and driving for prolong periods of time.... NO!? I listen to you! Just not the other guys. They're boring. I love listening to you :-D

Anyway, I read along through the first 7 chapters of Luke with my audio Bible. What an unanticiapted refresher. I love reading along with another voice and inspirational music. Music is an amazing moment maker... you know, it enhances the emotions of the moment. Often times I spend so much time looking for God in outside sources I forget to look in the Word. I read stories I had forgotten and read some I never paid attention to before. I can't wait to do it again. You should do it too! No for real, come over!

Shekinah: Word Becoming Life

Enter it, Dwell in it, Spread it

Shekinah: Hebrew lit: God's Presence and/or Mercy Seat. It origianlly pertained to the area between the cherebim wings on the ark of the covenant in the old testament.

Why rummage in such thoughts and reflections? Well, I am part of founding crew for Alvin Church of Christ's college ministry retreat. We fancy the event title. It makes us smile... and giggle just a wee.

Just last week, I went to New Orleans... I and Danielle. It was fun to be with old friends. It was so fun that somehow we got finaggled into going on a cruise in december.

Anyways... I just wanted to blog for the eve since I am approaching the one month anniversary of my unintentional blog fast. Graduated life is good!

Because of His Blessings,
