This is a chapter about lineage, power and potential. God told Ezekiel to lament for the princes of Israel and usually when we lament someone and/or something we think of what was, what happened and what could be. I know that is usually the case in sports or politics and even in life. We have so much potential because God gives it to us. Sometimes we take it, sometimes we don't. We also are guilty of believing the hype and "reading our own press clippings" and then we fall and fall hard. We fail to "praise God from whom ALL blessings fllow" and as a result we truly believe that we are the source and the sustainer of our successes and destiny. The princes of Israel were spoken of as lions. The collection of them are called a pride which is ironic since "pride does fall before the man". When we look at ourselves through a mirror, we need to step forward closer because the closer we get, we see the greater the flaws.
Good to speak albeit briefly to GG yesterday. I do think that he is acclimating himself well to his environment and am glad that once he gets his wheels and by having Sundays off, he can worship at a church.
Boy, I hate incompetence! The foot doctors office and the hospital that I am going to on Thursday are ridiculous in their last minute gyrations that they are putting me and my favorite family doctor and loving staff through due to their poor planning. Just hope that it can be solved and that this is not a reflection of things to come on Thursday.
Praise for today: that He is in control whether we acknowledge it or not.
