Old Fogy?

This . . .
I recorded American Idol and watched it an hour delayed so I could fast forward thru the commercials and the boring stuff. So when the time came to name the winning David the announcer guy says, "And your new American Idol is David . . ." and right after the word David my recording ended and the screen went silent and blue.
.
That . . .
Old Fogy \Fo"gy\, n.; -- A dull old fellow.
As I watched American Idol tonight, I could feel "The World" tugging at my heart. The rock 'n roll, the glimmer and glitz, ZZ Top, Graham Nash (He is so "far out" as I used to say, but I fear totally lost), so why does my heart want to flip flop a bit when I watch this stuff.
.
This is That . . .
God's message for me Sunday was to bow down low and die to the world.
I don't want to be conformed to this world, but transformed by the renewing of my mind.
I don't want to walk after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
I don't want to be on the wide path, I want to be on the narrow one.
I don't want the world to say, "Way to go dude", I want Jesus to say, "Well done".
I don't want to be average, I want to be a radical lover of the things of God.
"American Idol" - Interesting Title.
I might be an "Old Fogy" . . . or maybe not.

What Man Joins Together . . .

This . . .
I talked to a sales lady on the phone today about buying a battery for our video camera. She asked for the number on the old battery so I gave it to her.
She kind of laughed a not real laugh and then said, "You have about as much chance of finding that battery as you do of seeing Jesus".
I said, "Wow, great . . . So you think you have one?"
She didn't really respond to that, but said she would look.
After a moment of silence she said, "Oh my god, I do have one and it's on sale for half price!"
My response, "Isn't Jesus good? I'll take it."
.
That . . .
As I have often been told, "God loves you and has a plan for your life."
This whole plan of God thing was summed up pretty well for me yesterday morning.
Here is God's strategy for accomplishing all that He desires . . .
Get down on your face, die and bear fruit.
.
This is That . . .
If you are a believer in Jesus, here is a word of truth.
You are greatly, greatly blessed, for God has given you the gift of wisdom, revelation and knowledge of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And because of your response to this gift, you have eternal life.
The road that leads to destruction is wide, and many are on that path.
But as a believer in Jesus you are on a narrow path and greatly blessed because your gaze is fixed on Jesus the one who loves you, forgives you, keeps you from destruction and gives you eternal life.
What a blessing it is to know what you know.

The wind blows where it will

I had a thought about that, but then I thought about that thought and realized I should think again about the thought I had.

The "Wind" is blowing.
Set your sails.

Come on God!
