Does this look familiar to anyone else?? I think I have done just about everything I can think of to avoid getting my taxes ready for the tax guy. I am out of excuses… It is time to buckle down and just finish it already!! My personal goal is to have it done by February 1st. Pray for me, please.
This cartoon resonated with me, so I thought I’d share it!!
“It is good to have an end to journey toward;
but it is the journey that matters in the end.”
Ursula K. Le Guin
We were talking about Meaning in our home group last night. It was great to process through how God has created us for a purpose, yes, but He also has created us to worship Him. We worship Him not only by doing “Worthy” Church-like things, and hanging out with all our Christian Community. But we worship Him by being who He has created us to be as we walk through life each day.
Many times we are caught up in being busy and doing, doing, doing…. How nice to remember that we can just “be” and that is worship as well. Sometimes more effective than what others may deem “worthy”.
If we live our lives being who God created us to be… that means that sweeping the floor when no one knows you did it becomes worship. Loving an unsaved friend unconditionally on a regular basis, whether you lay out the 4 spiritual laws or not…. becomes worship. Going to the Market has meaning. Returning to the same postal worker’s counter and being kind to her, even after she was way rude to you the day before… Becomes worship. Changing a diaper, cleaning a toilet, calling your grandparents, going to the grocery store, eating out…
It all becomes worship when we remember who we are created to be.
You are fabulous. Have you gone back to see your friend at the post office?
Yes, I have and we are amazingly cordial to one another… as if nothing ever happened!! I think I may have mentioned how much I love the post office, mail, a hand-written letter, the fact that millions of people scribble out some chicken scratch on an envelope, day after day, stamp it and waaa laaa… it arrives somewhere across the country in just about 3 days… Amazing really, if you think about it!! I have always loved the post office.
So, I decided that her rudeness was not going to stop me from loving the post office, or standing in her line again!
I still love the post office and all it does for me personally and the World At Large…
I am now stepping off my soap box!!
Good Night!
Okay, so here we go!! I haven’t yet posted in the new year, for many reasons. One is that I am just now getting back into the swing of things. We are having a heat wave up here in Seattle, it is about 38 degrees today and the snow has turned to rain, finally!!
Snow is a beautiful thing, yes! However, it is an interesting thing when you add a bunch of hills and not much snow equipment to clear the roads… to the picture! The greater Seattle area has been only functioning at half-speed for the past few weeks.
So, enough excuses!! I think I am back and in the next few days I have a few things to post that are exciting to me about this new year!!
Thank you for visiting and I hope to hear from you all randomly, or purposefully will do to!

I love it! I’m glad you looked into The Cartoon Blog even though the one I posted didn’t click with you. Not all of his cartoons resonate with me either – but some of them just hit right on! I enjoy his sense of humor.

I don’t get a lot of them… but a few have made me chuckle! Thanks for the link! I like the pew one… that is so completely true for so many people. We are creatures of habit. It’s good to move around a bit!
