| "DAD!!! quick get the BB gun!!!!!!!!"
That was shouted by my 9 year old little sister.
Phrases such as these aren't uncommon.
We live out in the country...."Hick-ville" Naomi called it.
We have our fare share of hicks and red-necks....in fact we have a lot of them.
We also have a lot of farmers (poor guys, this year lost easily half their crop thanks to the drought)
I like it here.
I like walking outside at night, hearing the coyotes fighting for
howling rights with the dogs, glancing up and seeing a sky full of
stars and breathing in the sweet smell of corn, hay, tobacco smoking in
the many nearby barns, cows moo-ing softly, and the occasional whinny
from a horse echoing off the hills.
And I love it.
Because out here, in that moment, everything slips away and I'm held by
the beauty and tranquility of the mysteriousness of my Creator. My God.
And then.
I'll hear off in the distance, a siren blaring, as rescue vehicles rush to an accident site in Murray, or the surrounding area.
And it annoys me. It annoys the crap out of me.
"DAD! get the BB gun!"
Where was I going with that again?
oh yea, I remember.
Among other things, we have a lot of animals out here. cows, horses, deer...and wild turkeys. BIG wild turkeys. :)
Sunday morning Abby was looking out the window just in time to see two enormous wild turkeys scamper across our front yard.
wild turkeys...=....food on the table...= the inside of Abby's 9 year old mind at that moment.
Seeing them her excitement rose.
"DAD!!! quick!! Get the BB gun!!!!!"
:)
I love her simplicity, and wish continually that myself and others
would return to that simplicity of a child. The simplicity that Jesus
pointed to in a child.
the simplicity and tranquility I feel and see out here.
Dad...get the BB gun. | | |
| Alright, I've been too wrapped up in the glorious Facebook that I have regrettably forgotten my xanga....my sincerest apologies.
I can't say I'll still be a steady xanga-er. but I have decided that I would post my notes over here as well, so here goes nothing.
"Out of site, out of mind, what the crap is going on?!?"
" A faith worth living for, is a Faith worth dying for. And a Faith worth dying for is a faith worth living for"
I don't really know what to write, the title and that quote just popped
into my head when I clicked "write a new note" (or what ever that
button said)
I don't presume I know a lot. In fact I don't presume I know much, but
I do know that that quote/statement is incredibly clear and true.
"Out of Sight, out of Mind". is that how our society works and
functions now? Do we give up on faith because too often it seems like
faith never did much but produce a God no body can see that claims to
care but really doesn't care what happens to us.
Christians are criticized because of a few different reasons in my
opinion. One: our belief is based solely on faith. The fact is, is that
it is! faith in a God we can't see but claim and know exists.
Two: we're hypocrites.
I'm a hypocrite, you're a hypocrite, your mom is a hypocrite (sorry, had to throw that one in there :) )
We boast about our faith.
We believe in a God we can't see.
We have faith....or so we claim.
Is our faith "Out of sight" (I mean, after all, God is out of sight right?) and "out of mind"
I think for a lot of christians, it is.
They take "comfort" in knowing they "have faith" but simply push it to
the back of their minds, BUT they still have it, so on the "day of
judgment" their safe and secure.
We've all heard this sermon before. (you know, about how "blank" % of Americans claim to be Christians etc, etc.)
I can't stand sermons or messages about it. I don't think a lot of
people can stand them. I mean, "after all, I came to church to hear
about God, not about my fellow Americans" (sorry, had to throw that
presidential quote in there too)
I don't think thats the reason we don't like it.
I think it's because we're all in the same boat.
In our low times in life, what do we do? do we slip and slide, or draw near to Him?
We're ALL hypocrites. I'm a hypocrite. I'll push God to the back of my
mind so I don't have to deal with Him. And I know it's wrong, and later
I have to deal with it. But it's still wrong, and we all do it.
Because after all, "out of sight, out of mind." We can't see God. We claim to have faith in Him.
And we're all hypocrites. I get irked when I notice someone else being
hypocritical, yet forget about the crap that I myself pull.
I think we (and by that I mean America and the rest of the world) have
given up on faith because we've given up on our role models because
we're all hypocrites. And we blame it simply on "out of sight, out of
mind"
"A faith worth living for, is a faith worth dying for. And a faith worth dying for, is a faith worth living for."
Is your faith "out of sight, out of mind"? or is it worth living to die for?
Think about it. I don't just mean for a couple minutes. I mean REALLY think about it.
Thats all I got.
till the sun shines red.
