YOU SO NASTY

Have you ever seen someone do something that you thought was just absolutely gross? 

Ok, for you that haven't seen anything just totally out of line, just keep living. I personally thinks it's totally gross when people start mouth kissing their dogs. Really? Those things lick themselves and all sorts of Nasty stuff.

Anyways, there are a lot of things that can be considered nasty and some of these things we personally partake in. No I'm not blatantly calling you nasty or anything but I do want to inform you of how you might just be.

To help me we this point I'll use the following text
  

Luke 5: 36 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old. 37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. 38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. 39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.

This is a pretty in depth scripture so we won't try to deal with it all in on sitting.

Verse 39. No one is accustom to their old ways and are ready to immediately change to a new way of doing things right away, at least not totally. ( I hope you saw that point) in spite of immediate change not happening we must begin to accept change. We must know that the will of God for us is eventually and  Inevitably change our taste and desires.   

Let's get to the nasty stuff 

Verse 36-38. 
Here Jesus gives us a clear understanding that we must put good with good or new with new. IE... Don't put your new suit or on top of a nasty, stinky shirt. Though the outward appearance looks good, the stank will still come through. YOU SO NASTY

To save time I'll go ahead and end this... But continue to read the versus for more personally clarity. 

In conclusion, we must know that God has called us into a new life and when we choose not to get rid of our old attachments and customs, it's just like putting on some stanky clothes on. Though it takes time to do this we should be taking time to change. 

??? How do we get the stank/nasty out of our lives, when it's so much easier to keep it in???
  
    

Just The Way Life Is?

Hello everyone,

This will be the first of many blogs to come. This was started due to a few friends suggesting that I start blogging. So here we go... I hope you enjoy and feel free to comment.



  

I am of the belief that we tend to over think about a lot of stuff. Most of us spend all day thinking and worrying about things that we can't change with our worrying. I know that we have grown a tendency to do this but worry leads to stress and do any of us enjoy stress.? 

Worry is thoughts and images of a negative nature in which mental attempts are made to avoid anticipated potential threats. As an emotion it is experienced as anxiety or concern about a real or imagined issue, usually personal issues such as health or finances or broader ones such as environmental pollution and social or technological change. Most people experience short-lived periods of worry in their lives without incident; indeed, a moderate amount of worrying may even have positive effects, if it prompts people to take precautions

When I start to be over concerned about stuff or "worried" about silliness, I think of the srcipture that says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding". In all honesty its hard to trust in the Lord sometimes, in spite of us knowing that He has worked stuff out for us time and time again. I know through prayer He will reveal direction to me but the waiting sometimes feels unreal.  Are you worried about how something will turnout? What have you done reduce your worry, concern, stress? Share your formula for overcoming this emotional obsticle.

Is worrying, "Just the way life is"?
