Rocky III
I'm told I need to watch the Rocky movies.. I think I may do that soon. So today I started this book The Barbarian Way... So far I like it. The author uses a lot of scripture and not a lot of opinion. He talks about the raw untamed faith... fighting for the kings heart. Great stories are used and I'm in love with his writing. Quote from the book that will not get out of my head "Jesus is being lost in a religion bearing his name". I stopped and focused on those words for maybe 10 minutes before finishing the rest of the chapter. So true and so raw. He opens his book with the story of Jephthah, one I wasn't very familiar with so I'm going back and studying up on it. [judges 11:1-11 is what he shared in the book] So far I like it. What makes me mad is someone told me to read this book a year ago and I was so focused on me I didn't even give it the time of day... I'm learning from past mistakes.
[I lost 5 pounds over the weekend maybe because of the lack of intake. Hey but its totally 5 pounds... I'll take it. My freaking wrist is better today you can barely see the red spots. My whiteness wins every time...geez. ]
I'm standing here water rushing over,
My head hurting from the night before
Eyes swollen not able see the enemy behind me
I cant feel anymore, my senses lost
The only thing to do is wait.
Silence has crept in and brought along its old friend
My struggle is no longer the enemy but myself.
I gave you my heart long ago with the understanding
'you would be there to protect.'
I'm battling, pleading please protect my heart
Because I'm fighting for yours.

grace and peace
