Man is ultimately controlled by Love.--either he is desperate for it and lives his life attempting to earn it, or he will be filled with it, and compelled to share it .

“When two or more are gathered in my name, I am there with them.” This is nothing more than the spirit of Love…the reality of Love. Love is not something to be arrived at after a particular formula has been worked out, but rather the result of a divine indwelling in our heart. It is the place when we look at one another through eyes that seek to do nothing but search for ways to serve and attribute importance and worth to life that is before them. Love, when it is pure, isn’t a sacrifice it is a privilege and an honor—it is truly the most desired thing.

 

Love does not require an expertise in any field; it requires instead, a much more difficult reality in our lives—the death of all our fears. On our own we have no capacity make this change. It is only by the loving and merciful grace of Christ that we are given access to this beautiful perspective. It is only here that we will be able to let go of all of our holds on this world and simply live to serve each other.

 

This is a painful process as the only way to deal with fear is to confront it head on, and cling desperately to the grace of Christ to show is that he is supreme and will never let us down. This pain is lovingly ordained because our Father is one who, though he loves us the way we are, He loves us too much to let us live under the perspective that numbs us to the greater reality of His love.

 

Pain is not a bad thing, as much at it seems and feels. Pain is an angel; a messenger of God. Pain teaches us how to ask for help so we can receive a greater love. It teaches us how to love others who are going through similar changes. Pain exists to point out the established boundaries that separate us from the love of Jesus. A quote I heard a few months ago said this so much better and simpler, “People will not change until the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of changing.”

 

We serve a loving God and we will not let us be complacent. He will never stop teaching us and he will give up on any lesson. With every attempt his messenger will become more and more intense. We can trust him to do this. We don’t need to fight him or his messengers. He is a good God. We can trust Him. Everything that he allows to happen to us IS working toward its purpose of revealing himself to us.

Here is a quiz about me... A Dugan-off if you will. Brasher...Jenn...who will win? Will this settle the issue or only create more tension. I love it when things are about me. It makes me feel that the world is in order. By "in order" i mean is consistant with the way i think. I'm selfish...it's true. So i encoureage you not to be like me and consider others. You can start your freshly inspired selflessness by taking a quiz...about ME.

So, the legendary Secretninjakick has decided to entangle himself in the war between my brothers and me. He warns us. He can tell that we are scared. He can see us hiding in the corners under pillows and blankets. He can hear our knees chattering. His perfected skills make him the most fatal weapon his country posses. It is true that he wasn't actually born there, but he carries the air of his fellow country men. But France is concerned about his most recent endevor. They fear they will lose their lone protector.

A recent letter sent to ninjakick from his country requested that he return to Paris so he can resume his training which consists of hiding from a squirrel and little bunny. They appologized for using a mongoose instead of a squirrel the last time. They also promised to pay for the medical bills resulting from the previous incident. At the bottom of the letter they reminded our fearless ninja that his puddle, Fifi, was getting lonely and that he should also get back and cuddle with his exceptionally effeminate dog.

Mr. Kick, consider this a formal aknowledgement of your obnoxious and foolhearty entrnace into this war, but understand that you are being taken as seriously as an Al Gore presidental campaign. Be cautioned however, that does not mean my bros and I will show you any mercy. The simple fact is this, each of us will take great pleasure in "encouraging" you to get back to your beloved Fifi.

P.S. It has been discovered that Mr. Kick is originally from West Virginia.
