Man, the last couple of days have had a few shots of frustration in it. Nothing major just a lot of little things. Let me list and exploit my meandering problems to you.

1.) The D-backs are having a miserable season fighting for last last place. blah.

2.) I'm Painting my house and no matter how good i think i taped off the edges paint always finds a way to leak through

3.) Painting frustration #2 ended up with me spilling alot of paint all over my bed ruining my sheets and comfoter

4.) The garbage men took my entire garbage can with them when they collected the trash. Thanks City of Jeannette you're awesome =)

5.) I went to charge my phone the other night that I use as an alarm in the morning but apparently it wasn't completely plugged in and didn't charge but instead died making me a couple hours late getting to the office.

6.) ive forgotten my lunch every day this week. Granted it's only Tuesday but it seems far more dramatic and exaggerated to say "all week"

7.) I had a horrible evening on the basketcourt Sunday. Playing for 3 straight hours you would think I'd come out with one game I felt good about

As I am sure you have thought and said to yourself by the end of reading my frustration situation #1 , "Who freaking cares". Or as Darryl Worley would sing, "Sounds Like Life To Me" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFVo02K_CAc

You're right Darryl! Those are problems in life that come along to all of us. My mediocre problems aren't much of a concern to you or others. I'm cool with that. Problems are like butts, we've all got one. Usually I'll tell these frustrations to friends and family to get a laugh at it. Some one once said that true comedy is acknowledging the tragedy belonging to some one else. So every one thinks its hilarious that my team I love passionatly is in dead last, I spilled half a gallon of paint on my bed, the garbage men jacked my garbage can etc... it's cool, I relish in it. When life hands you lemons make lemonade right? The way we handle those issues define us, not our personality but our charector. Knowing most people don't care about my small tidbit problems with in a serious forum, I do know some one who does. I think you know where I'm going with this, because the line, "I know some one who does" is the #1 most over used segue from the pulpit into this jesus charector who loves you.

I have just contributed to keeping that phrase #1.

your welcome phrase.

oh.... back to this deep teaching I was working on...... The Lord cares about what you've got going in your life. He does. He cares about the little things that most people not named mom don't care about. Well actually, he cares about things even your mamma doesn't care about. The bible says the Lord has counted every strand of hair on my head (Luke 12:7). Even I don't care how many strands of hair are there. I just care that I have hair up there that I can transform into my faux hawk that screams hey I'm cool and young because I have a faux hawk. I am pretty sure if he is interested in the hairs on your head; he is bouncing off the walls THRILLED to hear about whats gone on in your day whether that being extreme frustrations, minor ones or joys and celebrations. I'm not classifying Jesus as a creeper here, rather, I am extending my knowledge he has placed in the bible to show us the depths he loves you and I. The guy cares more about you than you care about you. As you are driving or walking or any place you are alone for a short yet significant time, cast your burdons on the Lord. Confess them and acknowledge them, with confession comes freedom. Just get it off your chest. You don't have anything to lose. Remember to call us any time day or night for prayer for the little things or the big things and anything inbetween. We have prayer partners standing by waiting to pray with you specifically and want to hear from you. 1-888-665-4483

My rant is over. If you are at this part I assume you have read it all and I thank you. Give me feedback on what you think? I'm lookin forward to hearing back from you.
