things I am thinking about

• Ted Haggard scandal.... this is so sad. For one thing, when it came out, I dismissed it. Not him. And to hear the talk radio hosts joke about it and see it on the headlines... what a disgrace to Jesus. It weighs on me. I hate Christianity getting known for this kind of hypocrisy, and I hate the destruction sin causes. Could be any one of us, I know. But when it's from a platform like that, it's public.

• Saddam verdict... evidently another 2 months of appeals and then, if the verdict stands, he will be hung within 30 days. This is history happening. Amazing. Is it wrong to want this evil man to die? Because that seems the just way.

• Richy is coming home... they are driving 15 hours today and then I don't know tomorrow... they plan to arrive and set up for Radrev at 4. It's been a long 11 days. And a lot of poopy diapers. I need a vacation.

• Birthday party/lunch for Richy and Rob this weekend. Sunday to be exact. My casa grande.

• Mommy meeting today.. and then the mommies are coming to lunch over here. I am making split pea soup in the crock pot. I hope it works.

• My brain feels like it's turning back on. I guess I have 6 months or so until I have new-baby brain again for a while.

• A crash downstairs. No tears. And yet, I should investigate.

Same thing on Ted and Saddam. I think it's justice for Saddam to get death, but mercy to pray that he somehow recieve Jesus in the possible short time he has.

Why is split pea soup called that? I know no one sits there and splits the peas before you put them in the soup, that could take a looooong time.

Josh said...

Napalm- lets see a pic in them schnazzy clothes and new hair.

Nate said...

I can't find the Digital camera...or else I would

it's called split pea soup because of the kind of peas...I think.

Nate said...

Beth said...

new waverly had hail,i know.

split peas are called that because they aren't a sphere. they're a split sphere. so they look like a split pea. so they call 'em split peas. i think.

Not sure if I've ever had split pea soup.

Josh said...

Just curious-- do you know how many pre-orders the new Radiant CD has racked up?

Nate said...

I don't know if I am or not...

I suppose that I am...

do you have to register every election? or what? I dunno...I've only done it once, and that was 2004...I voted then, because I registered when I renewed my liscence. Somebody please help me!

jess said...

you are still registered.... you should update your address but you can still vote wherever you voted in 2004

jess said...

jess - i sent you an email

good night all...

Nate said...

haha...well, I wish I were pregnant too...

Some might say I'm in a rush to hurry up and wait. I'm maturing, I know I am. I want to get married, well, not just to get married, but to be in love. But once in love, and married...then what? I have the rest of my life to spend with that person. She'll be the right one. I know it. Although I may want it to be this girl, or that girl, or so and so...the girl that is the one...she will be awesome. Because she was HAND PICKED for me, out of all the women on the Earth. She was picked for me.

as for me, I'm waiting, she's coming sooner or later. Heck, I may already know her! But don't tell my heart that...he'll start looking for her again, in places he knows she's not to be found, at least right now anyway.

I love you all, my blahrgrat frints...

peace

Nate said...

pray for my heart...he's looking in places...and I keep telling him not to...but he keeps going back to the same place, even though I know there's no water to be found, why dig the well? He just keeps standing on the spot...digging as fast as he can...knowing there is nothing there.

setting myself up for dissapointment...but I can't stop!



don't listen to me...

and to any lurkers out there...I know I sound totally insane, but I'm not. I really am of sound mind. I promise...

Pursue GOD........stop looking.....

Seek HIM....ask HIM to reveal Himself to you...Be Radical for Jesus....die to self...

Trust Him to prepare you and mature you and draw you closer to Him...

Practice dying to self NOW....cause that is a big part of what marraige is too.

Do the opposite of what your flesh wants to do...

Hungry....don't eat.
Sleepy.......go for a walk.
Unjustly accused..stay quiet.
Misunderstood.....stay quiet.

Need Human companionship...pray.

Dirty.......take a bath.


God is doing a work in you.....
Dying to self is a process....it is hard.....and you have to stay tapped in....

I am NOT there...and until I am I will stay alone....not really alone...God and I ....

I am never lonely.....but it would be nice to share life with another human being.....I have put my order in....and God knows.....(so do Mercy and Madi, they helped in descibing their new Grandfather to God)....

And there I rest......and focus on God....and when my eye turns this way or that.....I might say....IS that him? but my Daddy God is quick to gently remind me that I am not quite ready....and HE knows.

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Instead of dwelling on "wow is me, I am alone....what a sacrifice.."

Take advantage of the situation and pour yourself in to GOD and do all the things that you would NOT be able to do if you were married.

Being in this season is a BLESSING.

See it as such...

Nate said...

yes, thats where I am...my mind knows these things.

Nate said...

but I can't shake the heart attractions...

I am satisfied with being single...

and then I find myself thinking about so-and-so...

it's ridiculous...

I'm just a kid...

pay no mind
