Our fire for God can’t burn unless it has fuel. Maybe it’s time I started filling my head with more fuel.
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
Make sure you read the part about the internet…”finally a place where we can all be alone, together.”
My strength in life doesn’t come from self-sufficiency, it comes from radical dependency.

The Little Joys
I don’t know what’s been going on lately but I’ve just felt out of it. Im finding it hard to get out of bed, I’m less motivated to get things done, and colors just don’t seem as bright…ok that last ones a lie, but it did sound pretty emo. Haha. With Christmas approaching I really am missing the snow, please northerner never take the snow for granite. It’s truly a beautiful thing!
I think sometimes it’s easier to see what we are lacking. Things need fixing, rooms need cleaning, relationships aren’t happening and projects need completion. Yet how often do we really take the time to enjoy the little joys in life? I know I certainly don’t enough. I have an incredible house to live in, a family that loves me, friends that care about me, and more gadgets then a small Radio Shack.
If you just take a second to look around you’ll find that God has blessed each one of us in incredible ways. If you don’t believe me then pray right now and ask that God would reveal these things to you. Yesterday I was joking around with my friend about how long it has been since I had Panda Express. I had to run an errand today to a new part of town and low and behold, right next door is a Panda Express. The Little Joys of Life.
Dear Roosevelt Middle School…
Thank you for making me run, The Mile, every week. I can happily say at the ripe age of 23 I can still run a 7min flat mile. Sorry for complaining all those years.
Sincerely,
-James P. Erickson
