I recall, I was there so long ago...Well i haven't been praying to the gods or anything else for that matter.
I have been praying a lot.
Destination is set on heaven.
That is not my problem.
My problem like the rest of us is the struggle.
Jacob God named Israel. The One who struggles.
His descendants -that's us, that's me.
I (we) struggle between this physical world and my need for physical things and my need for God.
If i focus on one alone and forget the other I'm just lost.
So i am praying to my God. My often seemingly distant God to come into my physical world.
He does. He has. He comes and enters my physical heart.
Like Jacob and am praying, i am fighting, i am struggling, for the things i want in this physical world.
Through it all i am finding that it is these physical things that i want and i struggle for, but it is also this physical manifestation of God coming into my life through these things, and into my heart. I have asked God to come into my physical world of struggle and he does come, he has come. But i am still so much like this Jacob character.

So a while ago, we had a talk about renaming Christianity/the church. I came across a verse in Acts that just brought that back to mind like **WHADOOSH** it's Acts 10.26 or 11.26. Can't remember. Look it up dude.
P.S. good words
