I read a passage from James today that has kept my head spinning all day. James 4:1-5 talks about two things that really hit home with me. 1.) verse 1 talks about quarrels and fights starting from a battle that goes on inside me. I don't spend much time thinking about this battle. Today I did. Inside my spirit there is a constant struggle it seems to choose and live that way God wants or choose my own way. It has a direct connection with quarrels and fights around me. What an important battle? 2.) verse 5 says God jealousy longs for the spirit which he made dwell in us. God is a jealous God. He wants not just some of me... or a little of me... ALL of me. Something about how these passages are written just warms me. It's almost soothing. It makes me want more to connect with God in a deep profound way. Passages like this make me think of passages like Zephaniah 3:17... God rejoices over me. Even me. As many times as I do dumb things and make mistakes God still looks at me and says, "That is my boy". Tonight I go to sleep in awe of God. It feels good. It feels right.

I caught two fish today at my parents lake house. A couple of fun... nice bass. Tonighht after my mom's birthday party we ended up catching one catfish after 4 poles sat in the water for nearly 3 hours. Nice catfish, but broke the line at the last minute. Heath thought it was his fault. I think it was just bad line. Tozer got a new bag of food tonight and a new trash can to hold his grub. He was excited. I think.

It's November already??

I'm not sure that anyone even reads this thing, but if nothing else I will write a new blog for my good friend Rachel Olshine. By far this fall has been the most crazy, busy, stressful and rewarding fall thus far. Last weekend I was able to go on a men's retreat from Mt. Horeb. It was one of the best weekends I've had in a while. Getting to spend that time with men I admire was well worth the trip. I was even able to go mountain biking for a few hours. Let it be known that mountain biking has officially become one of my favorite past times. I think it is yet another outdoor addiction that I will add to my list. I have been blown away by the media's so-called "green week". Last night we watched 30 Rock and the Office, plus a visit from Al Gore looking like a moron. I love the earth. I think to love the earth is to love God, BUT this new trend is just that.... a trend. I'm honestly annoyed. So... I'm absolutely excited about thanksgiving this year. It could not come too soon. Turkey and gravy and mash potatoes. I'm getting hungry even as I write.
