It will go on and on forever... the pattern will... that's just the way pattern works... the pattern continues until I see the lie and stop believing  it.. our purpose  in life is not about doing some great thing... having some wonderful ministry... being a success ... however we might define  success...

Let's see if you can pick up a pattern  here a little quicker than I did.... I'll even give you a hint... here's how it plays out... listen.... here is the lie.... "Philip.... God has this great purpose for your life... He will bring about this great purpose thru you....His humble servant... Philip"      Wow... go for it big guy!

Talked about depression  last time... do you know anyone that's depressed... are you depressed  today?  Pretty normal this time of year. I think it really has a lot more to do with something other than  the weather.... we need more than  some anti-depressant pill... more than  even springtime and the sunshine that comes with it...

People are sending in all their pictures of mountains of snow  on Facebook....along with their tales of being snowbound  in some way or another...and all the back breaking labor  involved in trying to stay ahead of it all...

I did promise I would try to get back to this "contradictions"  thing.... I had just said something that appears  to be a contradiction... at least to my rational mind  it seems to be a contradiction:

My favorite line from  "Shakespeare in Love"... here is poor old William ... he has stuff going wrong all the time and this little old guy keeps telling him kinda "not to worry"... 'cause it will all work out... and Willy is screaming "but how!"   ... and the little old guy's reply... "I don't know... it's a mystery".... you know something... that little old guy has the handle on what's going on....

Only my friend Jeff could pull one  like this on me.... we talk pretty much every day  or two...either face to face or on the phone... what a great way to live... same thing with my friend Bodie... it's called "relationship"...   :)

The only ones I spend more time  talking to are Ellen and the Lord.... relationships take time... conversations... two way communication... no short cuts... anything else is "let's pretend"....

Ten days?...    Is it really that long  since I last shared some thoughts here? Not that I haven't been thinking  about a zillion things... that's what Musers  do... they Muse  about things... all the time... :)

It really has been ten days since I wrote this....

My posting yesterday  <

Having said all that yesterday about wanting to be another Caleb... here is the rest of the story.  I mean... the Caleb thing with me was not a new thing... been talking about this for a couple years... what was  new was this great week of exercise... I felt young again... renewed vigor... renewed strength.., so it got me going again about Caleb.
