How sweet it is to see the look of new parents. 2 members of my family had a baby the same week that Sarah and I spoke our wedding vowes in church. Yesterday I got to see their little baby boy. He is 8 months old now. Then it struck me that I have also been married for 8 months. I sat on the edge of the fire placed and watched him. He can't even walk yet. He cries, he poops his pants, and he crawls, oh yeah and eats alot. That looked just like my marriage. Like my relationship to my wife. It looks like my spiritual life trying to adapt to a new culture and a new environment.
1. I need all the help I can get.
2. I need love attention and affection.
3. I need training.
4. I want to walk.
5. Sometimes I poop my pants.
6. Lot's of falling down and getting back up.
7. Lot's of struggles.
8. Cute as a button, amazingly real, full of life, exciting...
Life...an amazing adventure with supreme consequences.
That day (yesterday) helped me to appreciate life for where it is at. In it's infancy. I am discovering that alot of my problems come from expecting maturity out of that which has not had time to mature. Time to grow up.
How sweet it is when people are patient with us. And really know how to help us grow.

love, motivated sequence-don't be a victim of the...
Sarah is still getting ready...I am glad because this is fun.
These notes were more formed ideas instead of symbols.
(Sarah just said that all the music i like, sounds brittish, off key and all trebble--she can't stand it..she likes my taste in piano music though)
1. The movies often portray the story of a woman being rescued out of a nasty situation by a great guy who shows her what real love is all about...what does that story really look like. Not a guy showing of his knowledge of good---but doing battle with ghosts....gospel/motivated sequence.
The process of redemtion can be really ugly. Think about how sobriety reclaims an addict, If I did not know heroin withdrawls would not kill a person I would have been sure this one guy was as good as dead. Alcohol withdrawals do kill people, and if you feed a starving child improperly they will die. The processes of restoration, reclaiming, and redemption take skill. Doug says that truth is not a blunt insturment. Likewise neither are these processes. They are razor sharp and need a skilled master to use them.
In my relationships I have often wounded when intending to help.
gott go to work really this time.
bye.
