So this is tired
I think I am starting to get it. I mean what it really means to be tired. To run from one thing to the next for like three days straight, and to forget the joys of more than five hours of sleep. I think this is what most people call "real life". Already in the morning I hear myself saying things like "God don't let me be rude or short tempered today because of my lack of sleep." And I'm not even that far into this. Anyway I think that is a good place to be, not resting on myself to keep my temperament but resting in God to keep it. Trusting that even though I am tired and the students are not listening I am going to be loving and it has nothing to do with me. In the end it comes down to being satisfied in God and Him getting the glory and me getting the joy, really Christian Hedonism in practice, yea... O.K. I got to get back to work. I now have an e-mail address I can check at work it is, saar0068@metnet.edu
O.K. bye...

This made me laugh this morning from the Five Iron Frenzy song named "O' Canada"
"They've got trees, and mooses, and sled dogs,
Lots of lumber, and lumberjacks, and logs!
We all think it's kind of a drag,
That you have to go there to get milk in a bag.
They say "eh?" instead of "what?" or "duh?"
That's the mighty power of Canada.
I want to be where lemmings run into the sea,
Where the marmosets can attack me.
Let's go to Canada, let's leave today,
Canada, oh, Canada, I Sil Vous Plait."

I was reading from Mere Christianity last night and I was encouraged by this passage. Some of it is relevant, so here goes. Hopefully it will encourage you, too.
"On the whole, God's love for us is a much safer subject to think about than our love for Him. Nobody can always have devout feelings: and even if we could, feelings are not what God principally cares about. Christian Love, either towards God or towards man, is an affair of the will. If we are trying to do His will we are obeying the commandment, 'Thou shalt love the Lord they God.' He will give us feelings of love if He pleases. We cannot create them for ourselves, and we must not demand them as a right. But the great thing to remember is that, though our feelings come and go, His love for us does not. It is not wearied by our sins, or our indifference; and, therefore, it is quite relentless in its determination that we shall be cured of those sins, at whatever cost to us, at whatever cost to Him."

It's beautiful, isn't it? :)
Dang blogger.com won't let me use blockquote tags in a comment, though. :(
