Like most things on this site here I put them here for as much me as you. I stumbled upon this quote this morning and decided to share it here.
First I have too many places I can share my writing on line, and none of them do me any good because I do not use them. So chore number one is to place directs here and pretty much just not use those places unless I need to tests something with someone else.
Second, I need to have the perseverance to start and do something. I am going to have to decide where my end goal is and keep working to it. this with school or even my own work I do on the outside.

1st Evolve -what is evolution but to grow and change? I want to take some of the projects I have worked on in the past and rework what is there to bring something new.  I want to put in a framework here to tweak the look of the blog, on the vlog do more of a teaching show maybe? There are a few things that I have done and worked with and I think this is the year to get them looking better than they already are.

2nd Create – I plan to get back to media creation, and as you see writing. Going back to school gives me a chance to learn and do more. So in reality I am kicking in to high gear my output both for school , here and else where.  I plan on writing in 2-3 various genres, about my morning readings, school, and maybe just some creative writing.

3rd Reinvest – I as Chris Brogan said need to stop phoning it in with some of what I do, and I have liked the tearm “Be Present”. I want to get deeper with the relationships I have, and that means that I cant just phone it in, I have to be present in all I do. not just half doing something,  this is almost like living all out. This will really help me with my 4th word as well.

4th Balance – by my reinvestment, and being present in my life it will show me what I am not as passionate about in life. knowing what I am not as passionate about will allow me to cut it out and a lot my time. I am looking for the fat I can cut out and starting to tune system of time management. Much like flow this is also getting other systems set up for more rapid development, and rapid prototyping of modules.

So those are my words, any thought?

This can be things that you have known and thought of for some time. things you may know and understand but not comprehend at one time. those are the moments I am talking about.
I just had one of those moments.
Background:
I was sitting reading different blogs and listening to a few sermons on line. I signed up on a blog that if I had a minute or 2 I could write there or share something I had thought of.
I enjoy profiles being filled out and simi-complete that it will at least point to my other works and people can find this main site. well in signing up I found they use the same software I do WordPress. So filling out this profile they have some different boxes than standard. and one asked my Ministry.

I thought on this for 1-2 seconds and had my ah ha moment. I have a ministry and it is not just a thing here or there it is People Reducing Homelessness(PRH).
What Do I DO There? I write on the blog as well as a few other things. but this really becomes bigger when you let the idea marinate just a little longer. it speaks of how we are to serve as a christian. Serving by loving others as yourself, loving by doing, and the like.
but what is an epiphany without action? it is dead.

So what is my charge from this I ask myself. I need to go and move forward on the things that need doing over there as well as here and in the world.

I for a while have been praying for God to reveal what I am to do.  Lo in behold I have had it for some time just not as active as I should be with it.  So taking this charge I run.

here is the main PRH site

Now at the time of editing and writing the original burning has been cancelled but others have taken up the charge.
In no way do I support these people but I will support the 1st amendment on freedom of speech. Even with freedom of speech we need to police ourselves. Not so we don’t offend but to know we are truly doing or saying the right thing when needed.

I feel this act could fully set off a bigger religious war than is now and that would not soon be over.We would see more death of American troops as well as more christian missionaries torchered over seas. That is what I do not want to see happen.

On the other hand

As crazy as an act of burning another persons holy book is I look to the future of being hated as a Christian. This would fulfill the prophesy of being hated for the name sake of Christ.  But we still don’t know when His return will be.

I digress there is enough out there on the Qur’an burning Church.

The main point I was stating before the rabbit trail is this. As I get older I mature and I see things in a different light. Growing mentally we are better able to express what we feel about our geopolitical environment.

I want to know is there anything you have said or written in the past that now shows how little you truly knew about something?

Now I as a blogger need to admit I am more of a narcissists than you. I publish as a writer to be read so that makes me an even bigger narcissists. But I think I can also use this bit of vanity to a better advantage. I can point to something bigger than me and you.

I can work out my thoughts on life and work my way through parts of scripture. I can work out things that bother me and trouble my thoughts. If I lose some maybe I will gain others, and together we can share life.
This is a journal of a journey through my life not always daily but definitely mentally.  I hope you take this journey with me as I grow.

so how do you view your self?

27 Stop listening to instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge.

This hit me in the chest. Hard.

Hind sight being 20/20 I know I strayed. Far.

The words of Job ring in my head of “Will not even God use the aching of your bones to correct you”.

Before all the aching and pain and coming back to the Lord, I experienced a little bit of the world.  Sex, Drugs, and the like were what I was about. This led to a marriage and subsequent divorce, that I can say I learned a lot about how not to do things. from all this though I learned and gained some worldly wisdom that as I have rediscovered Godly wisdom I see the black and white that much more defined.

So my take on this is that the words of instruction are really supposed to be Gods words. The less they are read and shared with your children the easier it will be for them to wonder off. I know I have been there.

I grew up most of my life in a non-christian home. my mom was professed christian and at that time did not live it. so when i started wanting to practice the Wicca, she freaked. But her freaking was the first step I took to the Lord. This in and of itself is just the start. but not having more than a short time of interaction with christian males and not having a father at home. this shaped how I developed. Not really always getting in the Word also was an issue. So when I left the nest for the first time I failed.

Again in retrospect I could see this coming.

I became a little bit co-dependent at that time. and based on that co-dependency I had a very flawed and failed relationship with my now ex-wife. when she told me marry her or let her go, I should have opened the door and kicked her out. she was never good for me. I had a few people in my life tell me, but ultimately it was a mistake I had to make myself.

so in all that depression what am i trying to say.

The bible is packed with great instruction, Read it and find out for yourself

so here is a list of things past and current that I listen to for motivation or inspiration

Ben Sage – How the days collide
DJ SpyHunter – Till Daybreak & Powder Breaks (both are great for what they are)
Stateside Collective/ Bamboo/ Force Recordings – Collective Intelligence Vol.1 (my first jungle CD – and still one of the best)

Along with those I find I like a lot of down tempo chill music. I use all these in my writing and to just sit back and relax to. But there are those times when I need to change my mood / mode and I need something different, for that there is

Matt & Kim, Linkin Park, and other poppy, Indy kinds of things.

Last but not least is the music I listen to when im working out and needing to get pumped. here I listen to things like Dropkick Murphys, or Flogging Molly, Project86, and generally the hard side of things. this really does get the blood flowing and the heart racing to make a great work-out.

As you can see my musical taste is just about all over the map. and this is still not all I listen too. I also like trip-hop and old school hip-hop, acid jazz, etc.

So do you listen to for inspiration as well as motivation when you need to get some form of work done?

I have all these Ideas floating in my head all the time, and so many times I just do not act on them. Well I can not stand that any more, my ideas need to be freed upon the internet and allowed to grow and change. as well as influence others, thoughts and actions.

What is the point of having ideas to paint, cook, write, produce videos, etc. if A) I don’t do them and B) I don’t share them. so That is why a lot of my Ideas will be posted here. and if you see an idea that I am not acting on or you want to help with let me know.

I want to see your ideas as well. I want to see what you are passionate about in your own life. what things make you tick, or cause your aha moments. Share in the comments or on your own blog. Maybe your a maker or crafter, or you want to be. Go for it.

So just a little random thought and encouragement on a Thursday Afternoon.

peace and love all
