I'm Losing Track

I haven't been thinking about days in terms of what day of the week it is anymore. It's all been what day I work, I don't give the days names, just work day. Weird....

When I was younger (as in like a week ago) I would always like to think about my funeral. Not the crying part or what my family and friends would be like, but what music I'd want to be played....because there would have to be music. One day I might even make a list of what songs I would want played, but I'd really have to think about it. I think I'd only need one song, and that would be Otis Redding's (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay. I can't think of a better song, even if it doesn't deal directly with death, it's just my favourite song....so it'd have to be played right? haha This is probably not the most productive way to spend words, I could probably be writing something much more meaningful and lasting....why aren't I?

Because I'm choosing not to....which leads me into my point...yes....I have a point (though I confess I just thought of it a few seconds ago), there are problems in this world. I don't think there are many that wouldn't agree with that (though I'm sure there are some). There are problems in this world and we all wonder what is happening. Why are those in power letting this happen, why is God letting this happen. I use to think about those kinds of things a lot....why isn't God doing more....but I'm reading a book right now, and the answer to my previous question basically slapped me upside the head and now i'm walking around thinking to myself "duh!".....(the book by the way is Shane Claiborne's Irresistable Revolution)....we are vessels for God, we are His hands, He acts through us so in order for anything to change....well I guess we'd have to get off the computer and out into the streets or something radical like that. I sort of see humans as doors which God likes to walk through from time to time, and we choose to be open or closed. So this sort of boils down to, "hey, if you want things to change, why don't you do something about it". That said, positive results shouldnt be attributed to certain people. It's not us, it's a divine force acting through us..........yeah


So now I'm goint to go get ready for work

Hope where these words find you is exactly where you're suppose to be
