Living philosophy

"To bring blessings upon yourself bless your neighbor.
To enrich yourself enrich your neighbor.
Honor your neighbor and the world will honor you.
To sorely hurt yourself hurt your neighbor.
He who seeks love will find it by giving it.
The measure of a mans wealth is the measure of wealth he has given.
To enrich yourself with many friends enrich your friends with yourself.
That which you take away from any man the world will take away from you.
When you take the first step to give yourself to that which you want, it will also take its first step to give itself to you.
Peace and happiness do not come to you from your horizon, they spread from you put to infinity beyond your horizon.
The whole universe is a mirror which reflects back to you that which you reflect forward into it.
Love is like into the ascent of a mountain. It comes even nearer to you as you go ever nearer to it."

Live on

"one may give without loving,
But none can love without giving.

The more a man gives of himself,
The more he has left.

If we believe we can or can't we are right.

When we walk in the light,
Which is Christ, our lives become beautiful.

Whether it be happiness, spiritual or material things, we can receive only in proportion to that which we give.

Your greatest power; the power to choose.

The person who feels self-sufficient lives in a mighty small world,
And adjusts himself to very small affairs.

'FOR WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT A MAN IF HE SHALL GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSE HIS OWN SOUL.'

St. Mark 8:36

What is a Christian?

I don't want to be a Christian anymore I think I would rather be like Christ in a man... I feel like that was more less his intent in the first place. Not to build a brand or marketing machine but to rebuild a human race.

For some reason that triggers a thought inside of my thoughts... What would happen if we stopped racing? What if we became a human rest?

Love is a more magnificent tune than progress.

Greater is the life inside of my beating heart than the sense of life inside this fleeting race.

A Mission

You don't become a missionary by crossing the sea but by seeing the cross

Mercy

Mercy works both ways... If someone gives it and it is not received it is void. It is not until one fully accepts the gift that it can take affect.

Another late night journal

It's 1am. Prettty dang late. How do I articulate the dealings of my heart if I don't know how to interpret the dealings there in?

It's a discouraging time. I feel like quitting, but I won't. I feel like giving up and throwing in the towel yet I know I am close to something and it's just what the enemy wants. My vision does feel a little bit cloudy. I have been a little bit discouraged since my conversation with tom last Friday. I know he didn't mean it but it makes me want to quit trying. Its difficult to dream when you feel like your dream is subject to someone elses reality or past realities.

My heart once was heavy for world movement and action and now i'm mostly concerned with how I am going to make a quick buck so that I can survive. My compassion is buried in a coffin along with free time and the outdoors.

I think i'm on the road to burnout because I have been trying to make this all happen in my own strength and so far nothing has been happenning. I want to be free from the cynical voices in my head. The criticisms and dark dogma.

Where is simple thoughts And Jesus melodys?

Too late

Instead of going to bed i'm blogging. Instead of writing in the magical leather journal I am blogging. I swear google is taking over everything (read previous blogs to find out how).

Today was a beautiful day. I lost a guitar student yet I feel good about it. I have to move in one week and do not have a permanent residence yet I feel good about it. I stepped down from leading worship at a paying church yet I feel good about it. I am stepping into something my heart once knew; forgot and is rediscovering. It's called dreams. It's leaping off of a mountain into it's heart. Higher than opinions, city skylines, and paper money.

Pursuing this does not make me the least bit scared because it feels like i have been here before... It's all so unclear yet pristinely set before me. Like an familiar door with a unfamilar handle. Or a familiar key that goes to a key hole in an unfamiliar place.

I'm ready for change. I'm ready for a new set of compassion stories. No bigger than stories I want to give and give and give and not ever talk about it. To help someone and tell absolutely no one about it.

A new set of love and active living. I want to activate peoples dreams by living mine. I want to give more than I take... and take less than I think I own...

I want to own less than what I think I need. All while crushing the greed that seeds the wants and disguises the needs of others.

God my prayer is for you to create in me a clean heart. Purify my motives. Make me soft where this world has tried to harden my shell. I love you more than what is inside of me. You are the definition of life. The definition of ignition everything else around me is a lie. You build and create where people say it can't be done.

Forgive me for any sins inside of my heart. Reshape your character and shape me with your integrity. Give me the strength to live this life of purity and kingdom love. Live inside of my dreams. Pull up a chair and dine with me. Stay a while. Stay forever.

All yours
