QUIET UNDOING

I have made my bed an altar

where shadows dance in candlelight,

my body a slow, deliberate river

I want to share an image with you—an image that I think sheds light on how the pleasures the world offers pale in comparison to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. I was about eighteen, out on the town with friends in Adelaide. We’d spent the whole night partying—too much to drink, too much noise, chasing the kind of thrill we all assumed would make us happy. As dawn approached, we wandered through the quiet streets of the city, still laughing, still buzzing from the night.

Not in a good place mentally today. The fall out from the news yesterday along with some other issues. Praying for a level of peace I just do not have today.

With the faith of Christ in my heart. Here are the intentions for the day. Please keep these issues in prayer:

For my mom, Mary, and the various health issues. Wisdom of the doctors and for over all healing.

For Dar (Kat’s mom) on going knee issues. Healing so she can do what she needs to.

Healing for my anxiety and over all exhaustion.

Fight Club: Vapes vs. Cigarettes

The argument that a vape or cigarette can't be flavored because children might be attracted doesn't get enough scorn. What about that margarita, or the less spicy versions? Aren't kids going to come flocking to bars because there are fruity drinks?

Thanks to both of y'all for being fun.
