Maybe I've been watching too much Nemo... Explanation on the Finding Nemo question:

The way you said, “Just keep praying, just keep praying, just keep praying, praying, praying.” reminded me of the “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming” thing in it.

Maybe I’ve been watching too much Nemo…

Travis: Finding Nemo? I've only seen it once. But you make me laugh. I like that. I like to laugh. The balance between submission and death. a wife who believes the bible and has no recourse but to live with her husband rides the balance between submission and death. Sometimes the difference is hard to see, especially for people like me who are not naturally co-pilots. It gets hard to follow the leader sometimes. I'm sure each person (or wife) can imagine an instance in his or her own life where obedience rankled. Make up your own scenario and apply it. I think it's a good thing for Husbands to remember. We are behind you. Whether you lead us to heaven or to hell. Again, I've said too much. Comes from being shoeless. I Love you, Auntie Helen.

So have faith, my dear and be happy. And let me also add, and hope it makes you feel better also, that I don't pray like I should. But you know, I've heard said that even a sigh of a Christian is a prayer unto God. Can any of us claim to be Good Christians? That's why we need the Lord to help us every day. So ends my bit of wisdom for today, if it be such.

I think that quality makes you very 'trust-able' (whether or not that's a word). For my own part: Sometimes I pray because I believe God cares and is listening and things will change. Sometimes I pray because I hope that God is there caring, listening, and changing things. Sometimes I pray because I don't feel God really exists at all, but I still desparately need care, an ear, and changes. Now, two questions: 1. Have you been watching too much Finding Nemo? 2. What do you refer to when you say the balance between submission and death? Chey, I have to say I like your blogging because it’s so honest.

For my own part:

Sometimes I pray because I hope that God is there caring, listening, and changing things.

Sometimes I pray because I don’t feel God really exists at all, but I still desparately need care, an ear, and changes.

Now, two questions:

1. Have you been watching too much Finding Nemo?

2. What do you refer to when you say the balance between submission and death?

Being honest about where your at is pretty much the only place I know that you can start from that can get you anywhere. Keep up the good work! It seems deep and often ugly honesty is an imortant part of what the NT authors refer to as "coming into the light" or "walking in the light".
