This Day.

The Life Of A Man.​

Picked up my check, Leave work.
Stop at gas station.
Battery Dead.
Don’t have enough cash for a new battery.
Battery is $121.00.
I have $42.00 on one debit card.
$72.50 on my other debit card.
Hmmm,… …
Paycheck = $260.00
Get a Jumpstart.
I payed a gas station $20.00 to cash my check, because I had a whopping 114.00 available funds.
-(Step number, “Fuck!”) Take battery out.
Purchase new fucker.
Install new fucker.
As I am installing the thing that holds it down-
(You know the long bolt with a U on the end),
I think, “Maybe, I should put the key in and see if it works before I tighten this down.”
I had faith. Crank it!
Put key in ignition.
NOTHING.
Repeat step number, Fuck!
Bring Dead New Battery back in.
Get another one.
I suggested counter-testing it.
DEAD.
Third battery was a charm.
Being a man is fun.

The Life Of A Man.

The Struggle

The True Struggle

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,

but against the rulers, against the authorities,

against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.”

EPHESIANS 6:12-13

In the book of Isaiah

“The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim,
he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon—
to do his work, his strange work,
and perform his task, his alien task.
Now stop your mocking,
or your chains will become heavier;
the Lord, the Lord Almighty, has told me
of the destruction decreed against the whole land.
Listen and hear my voice;
pay attention and hear what I say.

When a farmer plows for planting, does he plow continually?
Does he keep on breaking up and working the soil?
When he has leveled the surface,
does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin?
Does he not plant wheat in its place,
barley in its plot,
and spelt in its field?
His God instructs him
and teaches him the right way.
Caraway is not threshed with a sledge,
nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin;
caraway is beaten out with a rod,
and cumin with a stick.
Grain must be ground to make bread;
so one does not go on threshing it forever.
The wheels of a threshing cart may be rolled over it,
but one does not use horses to grind grain.
All this also comes from the Lord Almighty,
whose plan is wonderful,
whose wisdom is magnificent.

ISAIAH 28:21-29
