Every time I deal with vomit, I am reminded of the "Lukewarm" Church, and how God promised to puke them out of His mouth. Last night Luke (3) decided 1:15am would be a good time to wake up and barf. Today, mostly this afternoon, I feel that "rumble." So far, nothin', but....we shall see.
The worst part is the pre-launch stage. I know this is gross, but I know you know what I am talking about. In turning back to the lukewarm church, I wander if God is looking down upon them with the "rumble?" In fact, will He experience the post-launch relief that I am longing for right now???
any thoughts?
keepin' it down, for now...

now, honestly...
are you honest with God? seems like a no-brainer at first glance, but ponder it for a second, or more....
When you pray, are you confessing your sins? When you are weak, are you naming your kryptonite? When you are desperate for Him, do you say it? When thankful, do you proclaim it?
Here is my reasoning for asking...I have noticed in my life, that many times I pray in "vain repetition." I start the same way, end the same way, and often have the same generic plea for help in the middle. That may not be blatant dishonesty with God, but it is not full confession, commitment, or communion either.
God knows: the thoughts you've had, the actions you performed, the words you spoke, so the point it not to inform or enlighten Him, but to surrender to Him in complete honesty.

yikes...
I have had the pleasure of meeting some of the most "unique" individuals you would ever want to meet...perhaps more unique that the human mind can imagine.
We are all "fearfully and wonderfully made." Some are just a bit more fearful that others.
What unique characteristics, talents, joys, cirques are you identified with?
