AMNESIA

I have been joking via Facebook email with a friend about my evil thoughts. I told her she would not even want to know what I sometimes think. She tells me she's got me covered, and that 99% of the time I am good and my thoughts are good. I tell her she must be busy. She writes back and says"busy with what?" I say "covering my evil thoughts. She says she loves me and she's got AMNESIA! Now I can't stop laughing and am thinking what a good post I can get out of this. She tells me she's like God and has amnesia about my bad doings.....
Even though we are joking, she is so right. God has amnesia when it comes to our sins. The bible tells us that "He remembers our sins no more". That sure sounds like amnesia to me. Isn't it great how God stops by even when we are fooling around? I think He likes it so much when we make each other laugh. " He who sits in the heavens laughs"...and we are made in His image. I think we should laugh a lot more. We are much nicer to be around when we can laugh at the silly things and even the not-so-silly things going on every day. I know I often take myself too seriously. Anybody want to help me out of that habit? AMNESIA. Word for the day.
Maybe for the week. Maybe for the rest of my life. I wonder how many "bad doings" I can get amnesia about. Not only mine, but for the offenses that happen every once in a while. I want to be like the God who forgets. Thanks, Jewel. Sweet dreams tonight.

here is my truth of the morning

here is my truth of the morning

   no one walks with me
where the pain is the deepest
no one can hear where my heart breaks inside

we live in this place
our hearts crashed and shattered.
we can't weep together, can't bear it.
it lives in the well of unspoken grief.

we touch it and retreat---
and smile at each other
maybe next time.

Lord You are faithful to prick this place
   everytime.
 ........and we walk together briefly.

 i'll try again tomorrow.
