Who Are You, Who, Who, WHO, WHO!
No parties mentioned, no pictures, not even a voice... Imagine if you can the illusion of choice, not being an illusion. Imagine a two party system, being a truly diverse group and more than just two parties. You don't know if you are voting for a female, or male. You don't know if this person ethnically has ancestrial background from Africa, Asia, Latin origins, or if they're from the Middle East! All you know is that they have posts expressing their beliefs. You have candidate number one, through twenty-one. No more to go on, just what they believe, and what they are willing to try and accomplish to make this nation a better one. Kinda like Jesus being a baby. You don't have people looking for the Black baby, or the White baby, a tan baby, or a pale baby, you have them looking for the kid from Nazareth. So why can't they look for the fair skinned kid among these dark skinned Egyptians!? The same reason you couldn't tell that Moses was Hebrew rather than Egyptian. It is a time where skin tone is just that, skin tone, nothing more, nothing less. A time where what you claimed you were, was what you were. So let's not make this about just race... Lets make it about party as well. No GOP, no Dems, just a bunch of kids from every livable continent on the planet, ready to get together, play, and have fun. It works for the kids, but as adults we find too many closed minds, and not enough like minds. Now don't get me wrong, diversity is good, and checks and balances are good too. Balanced, not one side attempting to bring the scales level with pulling the high side down with evil. And let's hear about all death, not just one group, and let's talk about all sin, not just one area, and see who is right for the job. Then we can ask who it is we voted for, and who we chose to hate... Yes hate, because that's what the imperfect Christian has witnessed from many over the last three years...

Hybernation or Hypernation?
The imperfect Christian has prayed, and asked God to move for him in a mighty way. Then the imperfect one over thinks, and wonders if God will honor his prayer. OK is it in line with His Word? Is it for His glory? God says don't limit Me, but somehow the imperfect Christian manages to (at times, not always) think of what he can or cannot do in his limited being rather than what God can do through him. Hello remember Philippians 4:13? He can do "all things" by Himself or even through an imperfect Christian like myself! We as Chrsitians may ask for Gods' provision, and ask Him to show us things in His omniscience, then look for it with carnal eyes. Yes, I believe in a science, an omni-science called The Almighty, and no not Bruce.
In order to hear the inaudible, to see the invisible, and do the impossible, we must have faith. The imperfect one is not saying to act a fool or temp God. He is saying to believe that God rewards those that diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6) He is ominscient, all knowing, He is omnipresent, everywhere at once, and He is omnipotent, Almighty! He is also eternal, so you don't have to worry about Him cutting out on you like a so-called friend when the money is all gone. No "good time," no time at all.
The imperfect one believes that there is time for hybernation, a time to be still and know that He is God. However, the imperfect one also believes that there is time to go into hyper drive as well. God does not want to do for us, what He expects to do through us.
The imperfect Christian wanted a new guitar, a Parker Fly to be exact, so he started saving. He had a few hundred dollars and bam!... something comes up. He starts the savings over. The guitar changed to a motorcycle fund. The motorcycle fund seemed like an unintelligible/unobtainable goal so the imperfect one went for another goal. Let's go for a new bike. We start with a 1 series then a 2 series. Then decide if you're gonna be a bear, be a Grizzly! With that said we jump to the 4 series, yeah you know the one with the black matte finish, stealthy like the SR-71 Blackbird! Then another change, what if we could go to a 5 series?! All in the name of health right? Bicycle = better health, and not as costly as a motorcycle. You already have more guitars than you have hands to play them with, so...
Lord let the imperfect one have a new 5.2 Trek. Then God says, "Keep working, keep saving, and use it to glorfy Me, I think you the imperfect Christian can get the perfect imperfect bike. But I will not do for you what I expect to do through you. Use this to honor Me, and raise awareness levels in health, self discipline, and work ethic in everyone that you care for, and I will bless you."
The perfect reply from the imperfect guy, "Thank you Lord."
From the frozen tundra to all of those who take the time to be encouraged as I am encouraged. The imperfect dedication goes to the man that encouraged the imperfect Christian to Livestrong by living Godstrong!
Peace, Blessings, and Joy... that real PB&J!
