I was traveling yesterday and today. So I am going to post some things I have been thinking about. I will get back to normal tomorrow, whatever my normal is.
Driving – I love driving. And I love having nothing on. Thinking. Meditating. Praying. It’s just an amazing time of peace and quiet.
Election fatigue – I am weary of the Obama Clinton race. Sure it’s exciting. But I am a bit tired of it now. Same information, different state. I am ready for the battle of R vs. D. Let’s get ready to rumble!!!
Miracles – I am praying more pivotal, more miraculous kinds of prayers. What can I not do? That’s what I am praying about. What is outside my reach? Bingo.
Money – It takes money to reach people. It takes money to care for people. It takes money to do the work of the ministry. And it seems like that is constantly at the top of my prayer list. Every pastor knows that if you can’t pray in cash, it can be difficult to pray in the harvest.
College ring – I have been wearing my college ring, the one I got for getting my Master’s. It feels weird having that thing clanging around my hand. I am gonna thump my son on the head with it one of these days. Not hard. But I am. He needs to learn how to do that.
Mentality – I find that it’s both good and bad to have the mentality that if nobody else is goinna get it done, I will. On the one had, it takes energy to push. On the other hand, it takes discipline to know when to delegate or to hold accountable for what isn’t getting done. I think I have those perfectly backwards.

I’ve grown weary of the Clinton/Obama drama, too. I’m weary (and wary) of the Messainic air around Obama, with people fainting and the like. Ever notice they’re all in plain view of him, and that he just somehow knows that they’re “just feeling faint” rather than having a massive heart attack? To paraphrase Shakespeare, something stinks in Denmark.
I stand by the conviction that I’ll *never* cast a vote for John McCain, as well, so that makes my prospects in November rather bleak–and, Ralph Nader entering the ring doesn’t brighten my day, either.’
But, such is like in politics. This too shall pass.
