#18 Simple Admission Thoughts From the Back Deck...

Psalm 143:10
10 Teach me to do your will,
    for you are my God!
Let your good Spirit lead me
    on level ground!

I have made Jesus hard to connect with in my own life over the years. 
I have thought to myself: 

"I am so busy trying to get this business on a firm foundation. Once there, I will have more time for God."

"I know I should not be thinking or behaving the way I do. I need to get rid of this. Then I can be right with God."

"I can't forgive this person. God won't forgive me."

"I need to clean myself up."

"Time for me to take responsibility."

"My life, My mess. I need to straighten my workbench up!"

Self-built barriers to God plain and simple.

Psalmist has it right: You are my God. Period. End of sentence. Everything else falls in behind that. 

A simple admission. You are my God. How can that simple admission be enough? 

Because Jesus: Punched the ticket. Paid the entry. Opened the door. Gave up his seat. Redeemed the coupon. Unlocked the gate. Removed the chains. Walked the path. Did the work. Lifted the burden. Took the nail. Wore the thorns. Took the beating. Gave the life. Removed the sin. Spoke the forgiveness. Leveled the ground. Saved my soul. Provided the admission! 
Not me. Jesus! This and more. For you and for me.

#78 Thoughts from the Back Deck. Servant Leadership

Image
More of my orchids are coming into bloom. Once a week, I take time to carefully water each plant. I am careful that I don't get water in the plant's stem and where the leaf grows out of it, because it will often rot and destroy the leaf. In Florida's, "winter season" I make sure each plant gets exposed to colder temps for a week or more, but careful not to be exposed to freezing temps. That cold exposure allows the plant to reset and assures the plant to bloom in the spring. Sometimes I need to re-pot the orchids. A bigger pot. A change in the medium the orchids are potted in is not an uncommon task. I don't spend hours on the orchids but I do consistently care for them. Being faithful to little things gives me a beautiful benefit, and I enjoy the long-lasting blooms! As a pastor, I have had people come to me and express a desire to get involved. I try to listen and get a sense of a person's interests, spirit...

#77 Thoughts from the back deck of my friend's house in Michigan... Two Roads.

Image
Robert Frost The Road Not Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. I have been at a pastor's conference this week in Michigan. The colors have been amazing. I have walked daily, as much for a chance to take in the beauty as for my health. I spent time with fellow church workers learning and ...

#15 Shorter Days, Thoughts from the back deck...

Image
#15, Shorter days?! I sit on my back deck at about the same time every morning but the morning light marks the changes of seasons once again. This photo is from a Keys sunrise fishing trip a few years back, I still hold to the premise that a bad day fishing is still better than a good day at work. Time appears to be short.  More darkness than light.  That is another premise I hear a lot these days. People who feel that way are not talking about the change of seasons. There is a certain amount of anxiousness we can feel as we look at the world. I feel it too as many of you do. I have to fight buying into that premise.  Why do I fight it and why should you fight it?  The premise is based in fear. And fear is a tool of the devil. He uses it to bring doubt in Jesus and that is never a good place to look at life from.  What if time is short? What does that mean? That Jesus will be coming soon. That is nothing to fear but to look forward to! What if time i...
