Stillness
As I look back on the first half of this year I am thankful at the blessings that God has given me and my family and my friends and my church. And then, my mind starts to drift. I start to think about all of my missed opportunities and the hours I wasted watching Sportscenter and playing solitaire. Then I get angry at my lack of focus. I can't seem to concentrate on one thing for an extended period of time. Seriously, this is no joke. I can't stay on topic for an extended period of time. The worst thing is, this happens quite often when I am praying. I'm trying to lay my heart out and I can't keep my mind focused on Him. I know He knows me...but I just want to be able to thank Him without thinking about flight times and the movie I saw last night. "Be still, and know that I am God..." Psalm 46:10 - I want to be still. I try to be still. I can't just be still. Why can't I be still?! I just want to focus on Him and not me. I want to be still. For the next five minutes, I will be still.

Dude I don't get you. What are you whining about? So you watch too much TV...big deal. It's Sportscenter. It's not like you're watching Oprah or Springer. You said it yourself, you've had a great year. That's nothing to get angry about. A lot of us people have had a horrible year. So be still with that.
Jack this is not whining! The whole point of this blog is to be honest...with myself...and hopefully, it will resonate with other people.
