FRIDAY NIGHT AT ECOLA

Since I am sure nobody even reads this-I will let you in on EXACTLY how I ‘feel’ when I have finished ‘teaching’ or as some euphemistically call it ‘giving a speech’, ‘preaching’, or fill in the blank. I have finished my duties at Ecola and on the basis of feelings…

· I vilipend myself as a pathetic excuse of Sisyphean thought.

· The idea that I could have a part in anything of eternal value is Omphaloskepsis.

· I am not sure I am capable of original thought. Everything borrowed, used or cast off. A veritable thrift store of stolen ideas and thought.

· I am filled with doubt. A tregetour,trickster and deceiver. My name may as well be 'Jacob'.

· I should go back to suing people for a living, making a lot more money and doing what I am trained to do.

· My mind a farrago of lamentation.

· Yet strangely in love with a God that would create in me a desire to glorify Him, praise Him and proclaim His name as great. One who could make me love Him could make others love Him as well, if they would but give Him a chance. A marvelous God I serve. A Trinitarian God of unique beauty and power and grace.

Thank You Donnelly Bible Church for hanging in there with me. I love you.

    Thank God you don't have an original idea! Original ideas seem to go awry. I'm thinking of Satan's rebellion, Nero, Hitler, Al Quada, etc, etc. The Truth doesn't need the help of an original idea, merely a tranparent conduit. I suspect the only originality any of us can claim with respect to the truth is our individual ways of wrestling with it. And for the wrestling matches with the Truth you and others leaders in the church have had over the centuries, I'm eternally grateful! It's in those struggles that God blesses your hearers. By the way, what sort of thesaurus or dictionary do you use??? My 1200 page dictionary only had 1 out of those three weird words you used in 3/20's blog. WB
