If You're Waiting For Inspiration
Inspiration is great. Although at some point, you have to s@#$ or get off the pot.

Good Food
When was the last time you had really good food?
Was it at a restaurant? In a home? On vacation?
Does the company you keep influence how you feel about food?

Why I Love Football (Soccer) Commentators
As an American I'm used to hearing a lot of analysis (paralysis) from sports commentators from all major sports during the game. I believe a lot of words are wasted on minutiae such as non-game related drama, and stats ad-nauseum, that unless one is The Fan, one might tune out.
Football, particularly the World Cup, is a true global competition. Because of location and scheduling, one might hear games more often than watch them outside developed area. Because of this, the commentators most of the time are brief, descriptive, and wisk through the mundane.
Don't be confused by hearing something like, "Johnson to Beatty...Beatty to Sun...Sun...Sun...There's a chance...Sun to Patrick...Patrick...PATRICK!!!...He shoots......GOAL!...GOOOOOOOOOL!!!"

Why Are Some People Afraid of God?
I have been there. Not so much the fear of God directly, but the fear of church and all of its inferred baggage. Is this place really a cult? Are they trying to recruit me into their sect? Are these folks being real, or is it just a farce covered up with plastic smiles that never seem to drop? Will they succeed in some how brainwashing me?
All questions that crossed my mind early in the walk. In the end, it wasn't the years of church, or Sunday school, or living in a overtly religious environment. No, it was that personal experience of God. Not a cerebral understanding, but a true experience that left an indelible mark. After that I didn't have the old fear of not knowing, but the understanding of the difference between knowing the Scriptures as words on the page, and experiencing the power of the Holy Spirit.
