My Impossible God
If I really stop long enough to think about it I find that I am afraid of the impossible. I see the impossible happen everyday so I know it is possible. I guess what stops me from really diving in is the fact that the impossible is highly improbable.
My wife and I were married 25 years ago, we’re still married and that love transformed into two amazing young men, my sons. That should be impossible right?
I wasn’t the best student in high school. I was afraid to get up and speak in front of a class yet I worked in Television News for 23 years and just ran for statewide political office. That should be impossible too.
Now I have no job, the economy sucks, businesses are laying people off and I want a job. I dream of doing many things but all seem impossible. People ask me all the time what I’m going to do next. I give them the standard answer but give myself a way out for fear the impossible is so improbable that I will fail and look stupid.
For the first time in my life I’m not worrying about tomorrow. God said for me to take a “Pause” in my life and I am. I hope the next aspect of God’s character I can learn will be that He is a God of the Impossible and with Him all things are quite probable.

zach added these pithy words on Nov 30 08 at 6:23 pmSure glad I stopped to talk to you and Kathy a few nights ago at the coffee shop. I was not in a very good mood. It was only a few moments but it put me in a really optimistic state of mind. After that good things have been happening around me. The girl of my dreams sent me a message from the Virgin Islands where she is vacationing with family. I had been praying I would hear from her for some time. So you are a good luck to run into. That night after I got her message two stars shined brighter in the sky than I have seen for quite a while. I look to the sky for things about her because she is a pilot. Just when it seems like everybody is busy trying to make their own lives easier and more cozy-here are Rick and Kathy working in the coffee shop to figure out how we can succeed in making this world a better place. We are together in the trenches and there will be no half-baked compromise or “consensus”. The “experts” can get lost. Far from over, the fight has just begun. So anyway, you two are very inspiring . And you are both good luck for me.
