a new life
happy easter, from all of us at the get connected café and indiana jones.
what do you believe?
the breath of god -- only the penitent man shall pass -- the penitent man is humble before god -- kneels before god.
the word of god -- follow in the footsteps of god -- the word of god -- the name of god -- (remember, in latin "jehovah" starts with an "i").
the path of god -- only a leap from the lion's head will get you across -- a leap of faith -- believe.
the cup of god -- choose wisely -- the true cup will grant new life -- the false cup will take it away.
and...
the cup of a carpenter is not made of gold.

homecoming
college makes you think about homecoming in a whole new way. not homecoming in the sense of football, pep rallies, and lots of partying. homecoming in the sense of "wow, I haven't seen my family in a long time." (whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.)
it's interesting to think of palm sunday as a homecoming. jesus had been away for a long time (40 days), and, while he had performed many miracles and preached many sermons, he was ready to return to civilization for what would be his final week of life. people praised him, threw their coats on the ground his donkey walked, waved palms, and so on. they were excited that jesus was coming home (even the rocks and stones would start to sing, apparently.)
have you ever had an exciting homecoming like that? probably not. but there are some who have. think of our military overseas. think of the prodigal sons and daughters of the world. think of the type of homecoming you can only see in movies like antwone fisher.
it's the kind of homecoming god gives all his children.

giving up roadblocks
there are always obstacles no matter what: things we must overcome to achieve our goals. when faced with our roadblocks, we must remember that nothing is impossible with god. when we give ourselves a moment and ask god for guidance, the roadblocks seem to clear themselves. it takes time, sometimes. it takes patience, sometimes. but there truly is nothing we can't do with god on our side.
roadblocks can be frustrating. they force us to go a different way than we wanted. we may seem so close, but then there's a roadblock, an obstacle. sometimes the roadblock can save us from going down a dangerous and fatal path. sometimes the roadblock forces us to grow and get stronger. sometimes the roadblock even teaches us something we never would have otherwise known.
approach your roadblocks with patience and prayer; god will be there to help you out even in the most frustrating of times.
