Gift For Gab

 Lord, You are my Shepherd and my shield.  With You in my life, i don't have any issues with categorizing now.  When i study Your Word i am focused on Your Word and not daydreaming about being in some community theater presentation or getting the chance to go see Jaws at the local theater or distracted by some attractive swimmers at the community pool.  Lord, thank You for helping me to categorize and to focus on Your Word.  i don't have a gift for gab anyway and i usually can tune out those who do.

i realize now that You mean for me to be where i am.  i may not understand why, but i will understand later on when You deem it appropriate.  You will make a way for me where no foot has been before.  For now, i'm able to focus on glorifying You, Lord, rather than concern myself so much with my own relief.  i seek Your divine grace.  My soul will be balanced in Your time, and Your time only and only You have the right to understand and to know.  Not me.  There's a lot of evil and apostasy around me along with all this counterfeit Christianity, yet i shall continue to keep my eye on You, Lord.

Calling things by their proper name is the beginning of wisdom. - Confucious

Why is my name--Timothy--discarded today?  Perhaps they don't want to confuse me with the one who denounced the worshipper of the Greek moon goddess Diana and don't want to see me being martyred.  Jesus must be at the very center of everything i do, including in on the decision i make to rebuild and renew energy and joy i find in the process of repentance.  It's quite a project and it's quite a story i'm beginning to rewrite.
