whats it all about?

territorial.  chance is territorial...other animals come within eyesight of our yard and chance is convinced they are coming to taunt him, to infringe on his territory.  ya know what frustrates me...when people act territorial.  these are my customers...this is my store...this is my pew...doesn't the Word say, the earth is the Lord's and everything in it...why would anyone feel or act like, this is 'mine'.  its not ours, not our community, not our mission...we are all servants, why would we act possessive?

guilty

oh 

so 

guilty

what if they are able to do what I haven't been able to?  what if all i'm supposed to have done was lay the ground work, and someone else gets the fruit...thats when it hit me...i cared about who gets the credit...what about me? what about what I've done?  where's my pat on the back...

oh, Lord, forgive me, forgive my territorialness.  this is not about me, it can't be about me, if it is, then i've already failed.  thank you for the love you've formed within me for this neighborhood, this passion for my neighbors, my friends, our community...forgive and purge my jealousy, my pride....remind me that this is about your kingdom and i am your servant.
