It was (and still is) hard because so much of my worth/identity was/is wrapped up in what I did/do.<BR/><BR/>I have found that when doing comes out of being it feels more like what Jesus said about living water coming from our innermost being. This kind of doing refreshes the soul rather than draining it.kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-1134344075287923242005-12-11T17:34:00.000-06:002005-12-11T17:34:00.000-06:00I'm sorry .... huh?I'm sorry .... huh?Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046469207005773680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-1134224556273578452005-12-10T08:22:00.000-06:002005-12-10T08:22:00.000-06:00I don't understand Dr Howdy.

If he/she is criticizing your blog for not mentioning Father/Son/Spirit enough, he/she must not have read many of your previous blogs. And he/she doesn't think that this blog is God-centered? Needs to read it again. cbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-1134163704986239142005-12-09T15:28:00.000-06:002005-12-09T15:28:00.000-06:00That's funny about the churches closing on Christm...That's funny about the churches closing on Christmas Day. My roommate and I (about 10 - 11 years ago) both had Christmas off because our restaurant was closed that day. Since we normally both worked Sundays, we thought it would be nice to go to church. We dressed up really shiny and drove around Warrensburg Missouri around 10:00 a.m. We continued driving for about 30 minutes. Now there are LOTS of churches in Warrensburg, and we did not find ONE open on Christmas morning. We were the "unchurched" that a lot of churches are after, and they completely missed their moment that day. I was befuddled and disappointed. On Christmas!<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas to you all!<BR/><BR/>Shelly :)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-1134160560552190922005-12-09T14:36:00.000-06:002005-12-09T14:36:00.000-06:00i think of it as, get busy, get done your stuff so...i think of it as, get busy, get done your stuff so that you can spend optimal time with the important things.<BR/><BR/>however, i've gotten to the point i say 'i'm busy' less and less.. i'll be more apt to say, i was taking a nap, i didn't feel like talking to you, i wanted to be lazy, etc. it's almost freeing.gavin richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089190477657027849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-1134154330336994222005-12-09T12:52:00.000-06:002005-12-09T12:52:00.000-06:00Andy Did you see the article in the Kansas City ...Andy<BR/> Did you see the article in the Kansas City Star on Wednesday?<BR/> If you are overly tired you can follow other churches advice and be closed on Christmas Day!!! The artice went on to say they were worried about attendance and after all Christmas Day was a family day!<BR/> I guess there are people even in the clergy that just don't get it. You talk about taking Christ out of Christmas! I'm sure you will have lots to say about that article.<BR/> See ya soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-1134051628931920142005-12-08T08:20:00.000-06:002005-12-08T08:20:00.000-06:00Do you ever get so busy that you feel guilty when ...Do you ever get so busy that you feel guilty when you actually have time off?Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854543617806427302noreply@blogger.com
