Rumor Correction!

At the beginning of the year I revamped my blog. I also updated my profile to reflect my new position and wrote:
"I am in love with my creator, and in love
? with a girl."
Many of you are awkward around me and simply do not talk to me or have relationship with me and I feel that it is because of this statement and because of the girl.

The above statement was intended to be a tease not an announcement and I am sorry that it may have been taken as such. Rumors are terrible things because they bring division and hurt. And so are judgments for that matter.
I apologize for the statement and ask that if you are offended by me or feel awkward in your relationship with me because of this statement and subsequent rumor, to let it go. If there is another reason, please talk to me. I too need friends.

This is yet another lesson in 'Right Relationships' - Go to the person.

I am in a precarious position of redefining my identity with you all. You have known me as Erica's Husband and the video guy at church. Your relationship with me was based on this. I am no longer Erica's Husband and I am taking a hiatus from being the video guy. Therefore, I feel like you do not know me. I desire that you know me and have relationship with me.

Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder

Recently, I was diagnosed with Age Activated Attention Deficit
Disorder.


This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide
it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the porch table that I
brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can
under the table and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the
garbage first.

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take
out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my check book off the table and see that there is only one check
left.

My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house
to my desk where I find the can of Coke I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke
aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The Coke is getting warm and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to
keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the
counter catches my eye--they need water.

I put the Coke on the counter and discover my reading glasses that I've
been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to
water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water
and suddenly spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the
remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I
decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the
flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the
floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the
spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to
do.

At the end of the day:

the car isn't washed
the bills aren't paid
there is a warm can of Coke is still sitting on the counter
the flowers don't have enough water,
there is still only 1 check in my check book,
I can't find the remote,
I can't find my glasses, and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really
baffled because I know I was busy all damn day, and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem and I'll try to get some help for
it, but first I'll check my e-mail....

Happy New Year!

It has been a while since I last blogged and I have a lot of things to share, so check back often. But first:

While walking my dog, the Lord spoke to me about relationships:


I am my dog's best friend and she thinks she is mine. She loves to lay next to me on the bed at night, to shower me with kisses when I get home from work, to play with me. She likes to go out and play in the yard. She also likes to jump the fence.


This is not good because when she jumps the fence she comes back smelling like...well I'll say this first:
The dynamic of the relationship changes. I still love her to bits. I still want to do the things that we do together but we can't because of her behavior. She doesn't get that rolling around in cat poop drives a wedge between us.

I am not being judgmental of my dog, but she has to let me give her a bath before we can hang out.

This is a good picture of our relationships with one another and our relationship with God.

The moral of the story: Do you smell like cat poop?
Does your attitude, behavior, character stink?
If so, take a bath!
