...and yet the plate is full again!
So, it's been a LOOOOOOONG time! I'm sitting here with the kittens, after wrapping presents, and have started thinking about life and stuff. Sure, in trying to find Chad's contact information (I may be getting closer, but still nothing definitive yet), I got to talking with a couple of old friends. (Jess, it was Emily and Andi). In hearing how people are moving ahead with life, it made me realize that I haven't been sitting still either, but in many ways I have been.
The kits run and jump.
In the car, I was able to hear a pastor talking about how people have tended to focus more on worshipping the cross, instead of the one who died upon it. He likened it to Jews in ancient times, when God gave them the bronze serpent that would heal people of snakebites if they just looked upon it. Some people would not look at it, and others would. Some started burning incense to it, and the people carried this thing through the time of the prophets and judges. We still do that today: focus on the cross instead of on Christ, God incarnate, making an idol of the object He used to bring us salvation, instead of honoring and glorifying Him who saves us!
Blaise makes a frog noise.
So work is picking up, and I'm still excited to be there. I remember back at the big A, I began dreading going to work. Yet, here I am, having spent more time than ever before at a full time job, still looking forward to going in the next day. Its a great feeling! I just hope I am able to get my work done before QA comp date.
Kits are going crazy, chasing things under the fridge, and then each other.
With just days before Christmas, I have found peace in shopping, and enjoyment in doing tasks around me. And yet, as I look forward to continuing to read "No More Christian Nice Guy", I wonder whether my peace is fake in passivity, or real in Christ. I've been trying to make an attempt away from the politically correctness surrounding this time of year lately; using Merry Christmas instead of happy holidays, Christmas vacation instead of winter vacation; things like that.
Ok, I don't think I can make any more even slightly coherent thoughts. That means I must go read and head to bed.
