Trouble comes,

The man behind the curtain
- Damien
- I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."

Jared tells me a story he once overheard somewhere... I forget where... about a woman who worked at Walmart and her friend who also worked there. Her friend was complaining about the job. The first woman said, "I don't like walmart steal my joy."
I have often thought about that, since Jared told me the story. How often do I let dumb things like Walmart or school steal my joy? I am supposed to be joyful always. :)
Thanks for the reminder.
this quote came out of last sunday's sermon at providence. thanks for the feedback.
i have given this a lot of thought this new year.misery comes if we focus on problems, people, situations, et. but we know better than that, right? My challenge this year is to focus on a great and good God. He made the day happen again, he can certainly tend to my prayers.
