After being taught a lesson
In how he didn't obey God.
And caused trouble for
People in the ship he was in.
As well as met a huge whale
In the process. Jonah finally
Did learn his lesson and told
The Ninevahs to repent or else.
God wants us to
Go wherever He leads us.
Because that is His call
And will, way for us.
Not our call, will, and way
For ourselves. Whatever God
Says goes and rules, regardless
Of how Jonah felt about Ninevah.
But the way of God
Is to go and teach those.
People of Ninevah about
How they need to care.
How God would punish them.
There is a difference between
The human way of doing it.
And God's way of doing it.
To be honest, if I were Jonah.
I wouldn't want to be
Going there because people.
That have sin and don't
Have no conscience over it.
They wouldn't deserve to
Be told of God.
But that is the human way.
Remembering MLK as we have
Come a long way into diversity.
But still have a long way
To go before achieving.
The world into all kinds
Of races, colors, creed, genders, etc.
Shouldn't we look at the problems
Where we need not to overlook.
Caused God is pointing us
To overlooked problems.
As they become more important
Then the problems we think.
That are important aren't really not?
Sadly we overlook the
Problems we need to focus on.
And that when we tend
To look at one problem.
That isn't the problem at all.
It makes to sending a whole
Bunch of problems our way.
And maybe others' ways.
One thing may not
Be the problem. As it could
Be something that we are
Often overlooking. Because that
Thing we are overlooking
Is the problem. Not just in the
World but in our lives.
One would think that the snow would be the problem.
And not the ice.
Maybe it is other ways
Like that in other
Places elsewhere. But here in
East TN, it is the ice.
That we need to worry about.
We have gotten some snow.
As we needed to get snow.
But the problem is in our
Neck of the woods.
It isn't the snow, but it
Is the ice that is the main problem.
To go to school, work, etc.
We are going not
Just in a new year.
But in a new decade.
Because the Lord wants
Us to look at each and every year.
And each and every decade.
Like with new promise to the future.
Even if people don't accept
My apology or do.
I have done my part.
And that it is up to God.
For Him to have His
Way with those that.
I have offended.
Let it be up to them through Him.
He is the only way that can help those.
That can or won't accept my aplogy.
Is it hard for me to
Say that I am sorry.
And say that I admit
When I am wrong.
Then I am wrong?
Absolutely, positively it is.
But that is the right thing to do.
My 2010 is to
Make amends with people.
That I have hurt or
That I feel like I felt.
Really bad in hurting them
That have ended in friendships.
Or even in relationships.
Don't know how this
Has gotten started.
But the Lord may want
Me to do this as a tradition.
As to keep up with themes.
In order for me to
Focus on the years that
God has given me.
Hope you all are having a great New Year's Day.
Do you all eat Black Eyed Peas?
Those things that if you don't
Like them like yours truely?
They really taste like dirt! Yuck!:doh:
But I eat them in order
To give me good luck as they say.
Resolutions not always
Are easy to keep. But does your
Family keep on prodding you
To keep the resolutions.
Maybe just for them.
Or just to see if you can
Go as long as to keep them?
I really feel bad when I
Don't keep my resolutions.
Do you know where I am
Standing at my friends?
As I keep them for a couple
Of weeks, days even.
Be lucky to keep them for months!
We try to learn from our mistakes.
And try not to make them.
Like a second time around.
Because when we do so,
With a new year.
That becomes our goal.
Or so we think!
There is so much to do in 2010.
And that we are hoping and
Praying that 2010 will
Be full of hope and full of blessings.
For each and everyone of us.
As we enter the new year!
