Da Zoo

On a recent excursion into the wilds of the Brookfield Zoo, the lovely Ceamona and I happened upon many an untame'd creature. Here is a realistic, photo re-enactment. . .

A Mild Mannered Meerkat



A Ferocious Bear!



A Young Penguin



And A Kangaroo With Knowledge Far Beyond It's Years



Before leaving, we paid tribute to the animal kingdom's most persuasive creature. And we did go eat. Because it told us to. . .

Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others. . .

And some girl's mothers are bigger than other girl's mothers. And I have a job interview tomorrow. And Huge Pig Vietnam has music on the internet. So click it. And I have to move again in like 10 days. And I'm not sure where to yet. Ian's? Zach's? Hmmmm. . . I guess I should decide soon. I guess I should pack soon.

Sheesh.

Well. . .

I'm still trying to shake the slumber from my eyes. I've learned so much, but I've forgotten it all just as quickly. That's not the kind of person I want to be. That's not the follower of Christ I want to be. I want to be able to say, "God will have all of Jonathan Taube" and mean it. And then actually surrender myself. I've said it, and I've meant it, but I still struggle. Praise God for his grace and forgiveness. He is working on me. He is burning out sins, tearing down pride, washing mud from my eyes. I am wretched, it is true: but still, he's not given up on me. I'm at a point. I'm at a point. I'm at a point. . .

Last night, during a wonderful prayer, I was reminded again of what worship really is. I was so worried, and nervous about going to my corps this morning. This was only the second time I've been there since I've been home. And. . . I guess I was just afraid in a way. God has gotten me so excited and in love with the Salvation Army this summer. I've seen so much. . . excitement/ revival/ focus/ whatever, and then I seem to be watching my home corps fall apart. This week the officers weren't there again. I just don't know. I don't know what's going on. There is just so much that I don't even want to talk about. But I was praying about all of this last night, and God really just stopped me. And he reminded me that I am to worship him anyways. So I woke up this morning with a "Good morning Jesus" and a much better attitude. Was it almost painful to sit there this morning? Yes. Was God's spirit still blessed? Yes. My heart did beat faster when I heard him speak.

Please pray for the Janesville corps and to help me figure out what I am to do.

Still jobless.
