Transparent ME


Is anyone else out the suffering from a case of transparency where everything you think and feel is all over your face. I know I am. If I'm moved. If I'm angry. If I'm flattered. If I'm sad or upset. If I'm ...... it is all there right on my face.

That just takes all of my edge away. I might have to resort to taking to people strickly on the phone.

Not to worry though, Ruby said she is going to teach me how to hide my emotions.

I wanna know this LOVE


Love makes you do crazy things.

Jesus said "LOVE the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your ming and with all of your strength" Then He goes onto say "LOVE your neighbor as yourself".

What would it look like if I loved people the way I love myself. I am learning that loving God is loving people.

and people need some lovin', L-O-V-I-N-'!

In evaluation of this past week, I would say that it was a good week for me to get out of myself and into loving outwardly.

Gadi and I went to San Francisco to this event called Night Strike, where people bring food, drinks, and clothing to the homeless people on the streets and pray for them.  I got to give for the down and out.  I got to pray for women with leukemia, HIV, drug addicions, and an upset stomach. I am still learning how to love people in situations that are in a sense uncomfortable. BUt I have learned, that I learn best on the job. Just stick me out there. Give me the opportunity. Even If I don't succeed, at least I am out there learning how to take risks and find opportunities.

We miss 100% of the opportunities that we don't take.

Another thing guys,
I am dreaming out here in California. I'm California dreamin'. A friend asked me recently, "What would you do if you had unlimited resources, unlimited money, and a guarantee that whatever you tried would succeed?"

Wow! Even my own answer to that question blows even me away.

I'm digging this song Open by Josh Baldwin
