Run away Bunny

This is a communication to someone I love very much - Only they will get this -

Bunnies some times run away but if you follow then they normally come back
Sometimes bunnies move away and run away at the same time - it hurts real bad
Sometimes bunnies pray alot - things get better
Then bunnies don't have to run away more
Then the one who used to follow them doesn't have follow them any more
I miss my bunny
My bunny is better than OK
Go Big Bunny!
I KNOW YOU READ THIS !
a father who loves you

Luke bought my love today.

I got a great deal on some cheese at the market today. I told my 5 year old son Luke about it. And it just so happened that Luke had some money - so- he asked to buy some from me. So I took his dollar for one package of cheese. Turns out that he didn't like that cheese so I gave back his dollar. But he still wanted to buy something from me. So I jokingly told him that he could buy my love for a dollar. He quickly gave the dollar back to me. I told him that I was joking and he never had to pay for my love but he insisted that I take the money because it was a "GREAT PRICE."

I did my my best not to cry. It reminded me of the Gospel story of the man who found a treasure in a field and sold all he had to buy the field. I thank God for that boy every day.
Reckless abandon starts here!

What if the truth went door to door .

The Jehovah's Witnesses came by today as they do every three weeks or so. These folks have a zeal for for what they believe and they are not double minded about it. You know, I don't know anyone that hasn't had a JW come to their door at some time in life. They have a need to believe that they are the only true Christians. They have abandoned traditional Trinitarian Christian belief yet they continue to grow without the seeker sensitive stuff. Why? Cuz they get themselves heard face to face and make a compelling argument based on lies from abuse of the scriptures. So what if we take the gospel of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit door to door? Trinitarian churches don't do that very much. We tend to be content with mailers, news ads, websites and blogs. I hate the the thought of actually doing it but when I read the Gospel I see it preaching up close and in faces. HMMMMMM

Go Big and maybe door to door.

The Cups and Balls

Lately I've been knocking the dust off of my old magic props and have started playing with them again. I tend to be a pretty joyful person - not without the occasional grey cloud in my temperament. Being joyful for one's salvation is different than having fun. I forgot how much fun I had doing magic. I'm learning more and more about myself and this resting thing.

So I'm practicing the cups and balls which is a classic of magic and my favorite trick. At first I'm having a great time just playing around but then I get the idea that I will create the mega routine that I always have wanted to. But now I need additional equipment and stuff so to the internet I go. It takes me an hour or so to realize that I'm not having fun anymore and like so many things that I do I have taken something restful and made it laborious.WHAT A KNUCKLEHEAD! Hey I'm learning!

Go Big!

The cups shown above are the ones I used for a decade as a professional magician.

The Quail in the road or was that me ?

Many of you know that the Valley Quail has a special place in my heart - and my tummy. It's a strange thing to most people that the bird that I love to hunt the most is the bird I am most protective of. I do go a little nuts when people over hunt or ruin habitat. I think the Valley Quail is one of the most beautiful birds God has created.

Yesterday I was driving up the hill on the main road where I live and I saw something odd in the middle of the road. This is a major road with two lanes on either side and a divider as wide as lane in the middle. And there was a beautiful male Valley Quail standing still in the middle of the road. He looked stunned. There is a covey of Quail that lives around there and they often cross the road. He might have flown into the side of a moving car as getting hit head on normally means death. I quickly turned around and went into the divider and parked the Jeep a safe distance away from the bird. I put my hazard lights on and slowly walked toward the bird. I was afraid that he might freak out and run and get killed (I would have felt so guilty) but he remained still. It was obvious that he was frightened to paralysis. BUT HE WAS STILL STANDING ! Looking as strong as he could muster. He allowed me to pick him up with no fight. We got in the car and I prayed that he wouldn't escape my grasp and start flying around. He remained still in my hand as I drove using the other to steer. It was only a couple hundred yards to the field where I know the covey lives . I set him down in the field. He looked a bit less tense than before but he remained motionless as I left him there. I prayed that he would recover and drove away. I hope he makes it.

Wow! What a weird thing to have happen with the way I was feeling yesterday. I felt stunned right in the middle of the road. I welcome God's hands to put me where I need to be. Whether I move or not when he places me there is really my choice. Being where you belong can be as scary as being in the middle of the road. I CHOOSE TO MOVE !

GO BIG

Christ Is Risen!

Well , yesterday I spent a few hours in the Emergency Room. I'm physically fine but I guess stress is more a part of my life than I had thought. I'm very quick to point out stress in others lives but not so much my own. I'm a good health physically (I have a few aches and pains) but stress can take a toll and can eventually claim one's health. So now I have to learn to take a true SABBATH. I'm not so good at that. It means more than just secular recreation - I jog, mountain bike, hunt and hike with regularity but I don't SABBATH. I exercise but don't rest. When I hike I plan church stuff in my mind. When I hunt I try to cover as much ground as I can in two hours because I have three counseling sessions planned for that day. I pray but very surgically - God probably can't get a word in edgewise cuz I won't shut up!
So I seek the Lord today to RE- CREATE me. Make me new O Lord! And He will.
Go Big - but take a sabbath will ya!
