• Who am I? I am the one who...

    I am the one who hasn't posted here since December!!!  Been bummed out in the blog department.  So many things goin' on; yet just didn't feel the urge to write about them.

    I am the one who has been commanded by the Holy Spirit of God to tell my story.   BUT sometimes He tells me to write, and other times He tells me to just pay attention to the things He is doing in and around my life, and then write about them later.  Today is later.

    I was feeling sickly last time I posted.  Aches and pains.  Stuffed and/or runny nose.  Not much get-up-and-go.  But now it's Spring!  And I've been repairing the bass boat, servicing the cargo van and the yard tractor, picking up winter's debris from the yard.  Kinda feel recharged about my commitment to lose weight and keep my glucose under control, too.  My VA Nurse Practitioner prescribed a few new meds and some increased dosages in others.  Morbid obesity, diabetes, heart disease, allergies, get thee behind me!  (I think I hear bass ajumpin'.  And Helpmate seems a bit more frisky lately.)

    I am the one Holy Spirit brings other misfits to for counsel and teaching the Word, which always benefits me at least as much as it does them.  That traffic seems to be increasing with the nicer weather, too.  And I love these people, always showin' up just as breakfast, lunch or dinner is ready.  (I am the one who can cook!)

    I'm the one Holy Spirt has been teaching lately using a book, "12 Steps for the Recovering Pharisee (like me), Finding Grace to Live Unmasked" by John Fischer.  Wow!  This book has helped me rediscover the WONDER of God's grace and remember how totally futile it is to live self-righteously, a legalist, a moralist, a Pharisee!  This book has humbled me as I reconsider and ponder what God expects of me, His servant.  Liberation!!!

    Ah, Yes.  You wouldn't know it by my post thus far, but I am a political junky!  Over the years I have given up on "Republicanism,"  I am now a democratic socialist and totally excited about the hope stirred up by President Barack Obama.  Oh, don't ya know I am praying for that man, that he may be led by the Holy Spirit and pay attention to Him!

    New to my blog?  Or surprised to find me active again?  I am "Jerusalem" Hill.  I am the one; but I am NOT the One.  I am the one who would desire for you to come to know the One!  I am the one no longer called the Ol' Geezer; for there is just too much life in me now.  Spring!  And from now on!
