so im still in the desert...been here for thirty days now and to be honest, im not sure how this place passes the desert test, thats right!!!, the desert test...i mean to be a desert u gotta get less than like 10 inches of precipitation a year....its rained 3 times since i arrived and snowed twice....and when i was here in july.... rained every day.....now all that considered, i still believe that im in the desert, because no matter how much these fine citizens say they need rain, when it falls they dont know how to deal, i mean, take the streets for instance, .3 inches of water from the sky and there are tidal waves rolling over the hood of my vehicle....theres no drainage in the city....in the mind of a simple person such as myself, that seems like water wasted....but when you think about it, its kinda the same in our lives, JESUS came to earth and made the ultimate sacrifice for us, and essentially gave us oceans of grace, but many christians just let it lay in waste....see, grace is a beautiful, amazing, nurturing, life giving, substance..... but without daily repentance, that same grace becomes a gift that lays ignored, dormant, and unopened.....as the apostle paul said, we must "die daily"...this means prayer, or talking to God every day....try it and tell me you dont feel better, its amazing what how much difference grace put to proper use will make.....

romans 8:1...There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit........
