Fishermen

I've heard it said that "God helps those who help themselves" It took me a while to find the falsie in this. It seems very true to the physical mind but if you look at all the examples giving in the bible it doesn't fit any of them. All of them every single one except Jesus had problems and couldn't do it by them selves. I think this statement should be replaced with the statement "God helps those who cant' help themselves". Who would think a bunch of fishermen would be read about 2000 + years latter.

"Perfect" World

Sometimes we try to create a perfect world out of the imperfect world. For this world to be perfect everything would have to be cold dark and the same (absolute zero). It seems that God didn't want things to be perfect here because things are definitely not the same, not dark and far from -273 degrees Celsius. So let us not always try to make this world perfect and try to learn from the imperfections. C. S. Lewis says something along the lines that as nature reaches towards perfection it does not become more the same but becomes different from each other. He then compares it to good. Here is the actual quote "Good as it ripens, becomes continually more different not only form evil but from other good". This seems to be different then our current society. It wants to make every one the same, eat the same, live the same, .... It seems people are easier to control and make money when everyone is the same.

So God I pray that you will teach us to be different and that we can come together and all share a different part of you.

Can't afford to fill up the tank, to put something together

Things just don't seem to work this week so (and not because of the gas prices), so I'm going to leave you with a verse.
John 6:26
Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.

Lift your eyes to the mountain from where your help comes from

I was thinking that allot of my previous post may make someone depressed because it is cutting away at everything that we as humans hold on to. I guess what I'm trying to say is that when you take anything other than God an put it as the center or your life it will fall apart but when you but Christ as the center you get everything back in ways you could never imagine.
