IT'S FRICKEN HOT!!!
Hey everybody. I decided to write one more post since I'm leaving for the mountains tomorrow. It's about 105 degrees today in Tucson and I can't help but feel like it's giving Hell a run for its money. Happy to be on vacation. I was thinking on the flight over about life, especially since I started reading Brave New World again. It is such a fragile thing and the minute we think we can control it, things collapse right before our eyes. I was looking out the window of the plane at San Diego and then Tucson with wonder. To think that this globe we live on is so vast to us and full of all kinds of life, is just one small planet in a gigantic universe. I often think everything revolves around our world, then it starts to get smaller until it only revolves around me. I don't know if there is life on other planets, but I think if we did find life, it would be very humbling. I guess it would make me realize life is bigger than myself. The Goo Goo Dolls have a song with the line, "Don't it make you sad to know that life is more than who we are". I like that line. I like it because although it does make me sad, it also makes me a hell of alot less selfish. I start to thank God more for the little things I often take for grantid. I begin to realize how much I am blessed and to praise Him for it instead of curse Him everytime something doesn't go my way. It's important to remember where God has us here and now. While I am anxiously awaiting and praying for a wife, I should be mindful of the things God is doing in my life right now. There's definitely a lack of trust that comes into play here. It's just so hard with the "wife" thing because of lust. It consumes me until it becomes the only thing I long for and desire. Which then causes me to become angry and agitated because I can't satisfy it. Not to mention, my desire is really focused on sex rather than a wife. Pray for me. Sometimes I think the demons are too strong to cope with. But I know the Lord promises never to abandon us even when we abandon Him. Just some thoughts and struggles of mine. Oh, by the way, I got the BMW. It's awesome. I fricken love it. Just another example of God coming through in the clutch even though I don't deserve it. Later.

Hot, Hot, Hot,
I miss you already, I'm glad you can spend some time away. I like what you said about the demons being to strong - they actually are to strong for us, we can't win. Its good to know that Jesus cast them out and he had authority over them. His spirit lives within us and that same power/authority protects us, Praise God, Praise God. Apart from that we would destroy ourselves very quickly. As you patiently aweight your bride, God is showing you in many ways that he knows what you need. Your car is a rock pile. God knows you like nice cars and their is nothing wrong with wanting something nice, God's timing was perfect on that. How much more when it comes to marriage. We are all praying and aweighting with you. Have a good time in Hot land.

It's funny, being single is an important part of being married. I once heard a song about how the roots of plants grow deeper when it's dry. I know that while I was single I learned a lot about finding my contentment in God, and its helped me to be a better husband. Like Todd said, we're praying for you and anxiously awaiting that wonderful day! God bless ya Brent.
