back in the saddle




great to see doug back in the saddle...i liked his comment 'i'm back in the saddle until i get thrown off'...he is a high drive kind of guy and told the story about what he learned in the hospital...great message you can download from daytonvineyard.com media.

I often question 'do we really learn lessons from things that test us severely?'


...i have several friends who endured some real painful situations and they didn't remember the lessons within 6mos...they reverted back to their past behavior...i think i'm probably the same...

i think we as humans have the ability to forget to soon...that's why we need to set stones of remembrance, journal, have close friends who will throw caution to the wind and tell us the truth in love...i think a key is to ask for the truth, no matter what it feels like...takes guts to live dangerously...

we just finished beginnings...tons of people completed the 8 week course... big fun telling stories and encouraging some outwardness yesterday...

starting point...had some great questions...like how can you tell when God is speaking to you...how do i know my conscience is accurate...is hearing a growing ability...what about justice and love...how do they play out in faith...

great thoughts from open hearts...
