I feel stretch marks...coming

I got a compliment today. My BSF leader...of all people said I challenge her in scripture. This is news to me. I struggle each week with my lesson. Version after version of the bible trying to decipher the parables and i challenge her...Wow what a compliment.

For the first time in months. I am using my alarm clock. I have not used it in month. Between 3:30AM and 5:00AM I just woke up. No real explanation just awake and don't go back to sleep. Now all of a sudden if not for the alarm I would sleep till near 7:00AM it seems. While this is not necessarily a bad thing the funny thing is. I began to define myself by my 5:00AM quite time. Taking pride in it. Oh how the lord loves to deal with our pride.

This week, the parables of the treasure, pearl and the net. Big discussion and no real interpretation or plain speaking from Jesus. Is it Israel, is it me I can not tell. So my decision...Boiling Frogs. Its a scientific fact if you drop a frog in boiling water he'll jump out. If you put him in room temp water and raise the heat he'll boil to death.

God, let the main things be the plain things and the plain things be the main things. Don't let me boil but meet me in the fire. It is there I am forged and looking for a reflection. Let it be you, the reflection. In the name of the precious savior Jesus...Amen
