I used to be so into that once a upon a time. I think when I was in college and before I started working. I would get up every morning and write out pages and pages of dreams and study my symbols and look for patterns that showed up. Now I am surprised when I remember them. That usually happens after I have had a chance to rest up. I remembered one over the weekend, didn't write it down, and now all I remember is that it was long and strange and involved food.

I'm sure we will get along famously. Hehe - oh, and about that RSS button, yeah, I can't find that either. LoL I have no idea how to work anything that takes more than a few clicks and unless I have directions it just won't happen -thus the story of my RSS issues. :D Thanks for all the nice compliments Sheri. I just subscribed myself as I was at work last time I got by and had to mischievously log off without getting caught my boss. I'll be reading Life of Pi within the next day or two so I'll be by to check out how you felt about it.

We are all handicapped by the sin nature. Once Jacob wrestled with God, and it produced a limp in his life. Jacob means 'to be deceived'... his old nature. He wrestled with God, and progressed to a new nature... reborn. His new nature caused God to rename him Israel. Israel, in the original Hebrew, means "to rule and reign with God". There is always a deeper meaning behind scripture... God communicated in symbolisms. Jesus, the Lamb of God (Passover Lamb). The sword is the Word. Jesus is the Bread from Heaven. A crippled or handicapped person in scripture represents our walk with Him. It needs heeling and straightening out. John the Baptist said, "make straight, the coming of the Lord". He was quoting Isaiah, who said in the next verse: "the crooked place will be made straight, and the rough places made smooth". He has a 'straight' line for us to walk, and with eyes on Him, it is not hard to follow. It will bring us to a beautiful destination. Beyond comparison with anything in this world. We will still be in this world, but not of it. He corrects our handicap, our crippling life. I loved the painting also. Actually came across that painting on one of my blog surfing trips a month or so back. It struck me then as special. I don't mean to go on and on... I just get excited about Him! :) <abbr><em>Amanda’s last blog post..<a href="http://pearlsoftruth.wordpress.com/2009/01/17/christian-essentials/" rel="nofollow">Christian Essentials!</a></em></abbr> I should never make promises I can’t keep ;)

Handicapped girl in the painting. We are all handicapped by the sin nature. Once Jacob wrestled with God, and it produced a limp in his life. Jacob means ‘to be deceived’… his old nature. He wrestled with God, and progressed to a new nature… reborn. His new nature caused God to rename him Israel. Israel, in the original Hebrew, means “to rule and reign with God”.

And I'll need to get to some reading so I've got something to review and have some of my books crossed off my list! I'd love to join a irl (in real life) book club...one where wine is served alongside the discussion would be my idea of a great book club! In the meantime, blogging about my reading while drinking a glass or 3 of wine will have to suffice....if there are typo's or grammer mistakes we'll just blame it on the wine! I'll work on a post to fill you in on my family, I do have 3 teens, s a son 18, and daughters aged 16 and 14...there is also a potential daughter in law that is an extended part of the family as well as all sorts of blow-ins and extras that tend to hang around when you're the parent of teens/young adults! I found your blog through Amanda, who I know in real life....she lived in the same city as me until last year, when she decided to go and live in the tropical north of our state....up with the big rains, heat and wildlife, leaving the big smoke behind her! At the time we were homeschooling our daughters, and we would get together in the park with 3 other mums and their kids, some yummy food and conversations that would last hours! BTW, thanks for the instructions regarding the photo....I now have it displayed on my blog! xx Lisa <abbr><em>Lisa’s last blog post..<a href="http://readermum.blogspot.com/2009/01/books-for-2009-and-challenge.html" rel="nofollow">Books for 2009 and a challenge...</a></em></abbr> Hi Sheri

Obama and Julia can represent dual meanings. Both can represent outside forces, and those within. I believe so, for you dream. Obama: Christ, the authority in your life. And, new person of authority coming into your life. Could be a godly husband. But don't bank your hopes on that, keep them fixed on Him. Julia, well both scenarios in both my posts are relevant... outside person of influence, and also the 'julia/eve' nature. I'll stop now, I promise :) ... hugs... <abbr><em>Amanda’s last blog post..<a href="http://pearlsoftruth.wordpress.com/2009/01/17/christian-essentials/" rel="nofollow">Christian Essentials!</a></em></abbr> You’re going to be sick of me, lol ;)
