You look for that one place to find refuge. You ask God to remove you from it all. If you are like the imperfect Christian then you have been to the place that only leads back to you. We get Matthew 8:21 Disciple Syndrome, "Lord let me first..." or you just get imperfect Christian Syndrome. "Lord I want..." The Lord is my Shepherd, and I shall not want. We always want something and that something is usually our way, even when God is saying, "Nope!" And where does that put us? Away from God still wanting when we have no need of want. It puts us back at selfishness. I am trying to find the place of conviction that first led me back to a re dedication to Christ. Lord again I believe, but help Thou my unbelief. The imperfect Christian was on lonely street last evening. Let me tell you how it all went down. Well not all but mostly.





The imperfect one got in a bad way. He went down to the dungeon to vent. He being imperfect thought he would hit the 80 lb heavy bag with out taping up, or at least putting gloves on. Here's the results:

Rough knuckles won't kill you, but stupidity can get you killed! After hitting and kicking the doo doo out of the heavy, the imperfect one stormed out of the house and decided to go for a run. The run saw a pretty steady two miler for the first time in over a year! Yessur in over a year! The imperfect Christian needs to get his run on. After letting the imperfect Christian dog loose, the imperfect Christian took his cool down walk. Then we (the imperfect Christian dog and Christian) went for a ride in the truck. We rode to town and back. That dog sure loves to ride! It was then that the imperfect Christian went into his bedroom and began to text the man that he sees as the most perfect of imperfect Christians, and his music mentor, and would like for him to be his ministry mentor as well. Oh wait the imperfect Christian relinquished his duties in the music last night! He will official turn loose of his church duties on Sunday also, and just deal with his situation the best he knows how, and hopefully above what a pagan would. So, he's still the mentor, just minus an active student. After several series of texting, the imperfect one had a misunderstanding with an imperfect Christian. So what does he do next? Gets back in a very unstable vehicle and goes back out. Well the venture led to a very remote area. He watched the stars manifest their beauty, and watched a beautiful crescent moon hide behind a row of oaks and pines. It was gorgeous! A cool mountain breeze made the trees sway, and cooled my stinging raw knuckles. I was content with staying where I was at until I thought about getting up in time for work!!! Well what to do. Drive back a little closer to home. Why is the truck lugging so hard! The imperfect one gets out and sees that the drivers side tires are still very worn, but intact and with air, however, as for the right rear, it was as Jesus said about His call..."It is finished!" I rode that puppy for over twenty-two and a half miles on a flat tire! When I pulled into the Wal Mart parking lot my little truck sounded like "River Dance" meets "Bringin' Da Funk, Bringin' Da Noise!" I have never heard such a clamour! This would be my home for the next few hours. I am now dead in my chair at work finishing out the imperfect day.

Peace, blessings, and joy...
