I have an interview for disability (again).
I don't know what to expect.
Actually, I expect to be screwed over (like usual).
It's not really my place to expect.
That affects my prayers.
I don't know if I should feel bad about it.
Sorry, I just realized how self-centered I can be about my problems.
On a better note...
Roses are red, Violets are blue.
This is really boring. What else is there to do?
Oh, right:
So, I was reading old comments from previous posts and someone was commenting for a while and signing it, "From, God."
I really hate when people do that. Like those billboards that say, "We haven't talked in a while. --God."
That's dumb and obnoxious. I do feel sad for the people who are afraid to confess to what they write. It's not like anyone would be dissapointed if they wrote it and God didn't. In fact, acting like you're God is dissapointing and disturbing. I could see if you wrote, "I think God would say..."
I'm sorry if we're very close and I know you, God-signer-person. I see your intention, but that's about it. I do love you.
shalom.

But I agree...The billboards really piss me off.
This reminds me of this one time at our church they played a video with of a American Flag waving with a eagle in front of it and a deep voice, apparently who was supposed to be God, talking about 9/11 and stuff. And I just couldn't help but think, "How do we know what God would say that?"
I just felt like they were using to to cut deep into people's emotions, which is OK at times. Very specific times...but I thought it was very inappropriate.

"it's not my place to expect. that affects my prayers."
i feel that. like "traveling mercies." and "be with her/him/us." and sports. and... dare i say it, but health? or weather. or money. or most things. i don't pretend to be settled in thinking all of this, but i know that i think it.
we are told that we "don't get what we want bc we don't ask for it, and when we do ask we don't get it bc we ask with the wrong intentions."
so then do we get our thinking straight and grow a pair and ask for something? or do we just go with god's flow and accept that it'll happen the way it happens- due to god's working things out and our screwing them up...
my so-far conclusion has been to not "ask" for anything anymore.
except help in finding my damn keys when i'm running late...
im praying for you man. and i hope to see you soon. i called you the other day and you havent called me back. that wasnt very nice.
and when i say im praying for you, i mean that.
