Don't you just hate to get soap in your eyes in the shower? Perhaps there are some out there that has never experienced this but this morning I was mid-wash when some how soap sprang into my eyes causing pain. Since I was mid wash I had soap on my hands which prevented me to wash my eyes out. So I just closed them and finished up "blind". I noticed how deliberate I was in everything I did. Putting the soap back on the dish for example. In everything I did, I was taking care and thinking through each process. In my head I thought, I am intentionally going through the motions.
I usually hear that phrase in a negative context but I think there is something to intentionally or perhaps deliberately go through the motions. As I was getting dressed, I began to compose some thoughts about this blog. What is my equivelant soap in the eye? What gets me out of the automation and into the whys behind the process. In my spiritual walk, am I as intentional about following Christ on a daily basis as I was about wanting to remove that soap in my eye? Perhaps if I came to terms with how blind I am without God then I would want to do everything I can, as perfect as I can so that the blind may see. Perhaps we could all do with a good dose of soap in the eye.

Happy Thanksgiving!
I feel like problems make you more deliberate. Tragedy.
Anything that stings usually yanks you out of your routine...
How about we all get more intentional without the soap in the eyes? :) I like what ya said.

Your thoughts made me think about this passage. It has been on my mind alot lately:
John 9:39-41 Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind." Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, "What? Are we blind too?" Jesus said, "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.

By the way everyone, Friday was David's birthday. I won't say which one but I am 38 and he is now 8 years younger than I am.
Happy belated bro.
Adam,
I see that Auburn education allowed you to see through my vague hint. Glad you got your money's worth :)
