Why do we dread receiving this precious Fruit called PATIENCE? Most of us expect patience from family, friends, God, and others. However, we usually do not go out of our way to pray patience for ourselves.

The High Desert and many surrounding areas of Southern California were blanketed with snow last night. And, I was totally blessed with no-work snow day today. My footprints in the snow. Today they remind my that I am never truly alone…for He is with me always.

My great little digital camera and I went for a 10 minute ride this morning…to take a picture at 8:00 A.M. P.S.T. to participate in the New Your Times’ A MOMENT in TIME world-wide photo submission.
The idea, as I understand it, was for people all over the globe to take a photograph at the same moment in time; then submit to the New York Times for publication…to create a mosaic capturing that moment in time.
While waiting for that eight o’clock hour, I watched crows playing in the breeze, listened to birds singing their morning melody, and watched in amazement as a coyote meandered by…appearing far too focused on his search for a morning meal to be concerned about me. My photo is of a local grove of uniquely beautiful Joshua trees….

Our passion nature is the connecting tie to all unholy manifestations. Indeed, the biggest life struggle each of us has is between our passion nature (what we want – even to our detriment) and our spiritual nature (following God’s will for us). You may think a pure and holy life is boring and not worth the effort. Fortunately, you are wrong. Living life as our Creator intended actually brings balance, joy, harmony, and life to the chaos of our daily existance. This allows us the ability to prioritize our life with God the head of every compartment, which in turn brings every thing under submission to His will.

Sacrificial service is a gesture, a statement, or action that you normally would not choose to say or do. It may even put you in peril. It requires that you go above and beyond what is expected or comfortable, in love, and in reverence to the Lord.
