Everybody's Talking At Me...

Isn't that an old song? I need to remember the words - something about "can't hear a word they're sayin... only the echos of my mind..." The singer is focused on one person and one place. He is determined to go where the sun is always shining through the pouring rain. Awesome idea -- but one that is only possible if we keep our eyes open and focused on the right 'One' person.

This year, to help me keep focused, I'm keeping a notebook with all the lessons, words, revelations and promises He gives me written down and dated, all together in one place. In past years I have written them wherever I happen to be at the time and we all know what happens after that, but not this year. Now, when life comes knocking and I start listening to 'the echos of my mind,' I will know exactly where to look for His personal words to me.

Don't you love the way the Lord speaks to us at His convenience and His timing no matter where we are or what we are doing. I love that about Him. Mayhaps it is because He's boss and He can do that. :-)  Anyway, since he does that, I even have a new website, "Evernote," that I can post to privately from my phone or my laptop and then when I get home just transfer it to my special book.

Like some of you, I have made other  'suggestions' to myself for 2012. You know, things like, eat more and pray less....sorry,  I meant to say.... eat less and pray more. That is it, exactly!  It's amazing how the laptop types on its own sometimes!

Anyway, now I've put it out there for you to read so I'm committed and accountable. Accountability - that word ripples across time and generations to bring us back on target again and again. Accountability to ourselves, to others and to God. It is a principle that makes us transparent before all and keeps us from throwing rocks when we live in a glass house.

 Sheeze - not liking where this post is going - gonna stop now.

 For your enjoyment ... come join me where the sun shines through the pouring rain:  Everybody's Talking At Me

Lovin' the season...
