this new 90 day thing

so there is an idea floating around, if your bible is around 1000 to 900 pages you can read the entire bible in 90 days if you read 10-12 pages a day. reading the bible in larger portions can give us a better idea of the larger picture, after all it is a story not a rule book. how many of us watch a movie 10 min at a time?

My Time

So I would like to make time for good time, time that i can use for good, and good i can use for time. if time is the one currency that has the same value for all, then I am rich and others, who are "really rich" seem to be "poor", but am i rich since my time is not all with my wife, with only 3 nights, and one morning together a week, we seem to be poor in our" time".

great thoughts by NT Wright

...He doesn’t give us the Holy Spirit in order to make us infallible – blind and dumb servants who merely sit there and
let the stuff flow through us. So, he doesn’t simply give us a rule book so that we could just
thumb through and look it up. He doesn’t create a church where you become automatically
sinless on entry. Because, as the goal and end of his work is redemption, so the means is
redemptive also: judgment and mercy, nature and grace. God does not, then, want to put
people into little boxes and keep them safe and sound. It is, after all, possible to be so sound
that you’re sound asleep. I am not in favor of unsoundness; but soundness means health, and
health means growth, and growth means life and vigor and new directions. The little boxes
in which you put people and keep them under control are called coffins.
...Because, again and again, we find, as we submit to scripture, as we wrestle with the
bits that don’t make sense, and as we burst through to a new sense that we haven’t thought of
or seen before, God breathes into our nostrils his own breath – the breath of life. And we
become living beings – a church recreated in his image, more fully human, thinking, alive
beings.

the things we love

I love...
the smell of really good coffee brewing
the smell of a old book, or new book
the smell of my new bible
the smell of an old like 60-70's car
the smell of my wifes hair and neck
the smell of new clothes
the sound of good music
looking at a candle thru a glass of wine then smelling the wine knowing that it is going to taste great
and doing that, till your tongue waters
then tasting the wine
the sound of my wifes soft breathing in a deep sleep
reading a part of the bible that just seems to make more sense than ever at that moment you never expected
the sound of my wifes laugh
my wifes kiss in the morning, knowing i have horrible breath
knowing she is mine forever and knowing i could not have chosen her cause she is too perfect for me
