check it out: Baxter's Ongoing Thoughts

I've decided to make an effort to read more blogs and get back into blogging on a consistant basis.  Over at Baxter's Ongoing Thoughts is a great article on our thoughts about ourselves and our thoughts about God.  It's a great read and I highly reccomend it.

Baxter asks about our "I am nots..."  For example, I am not...

• brilliant
• amazing
• deserving
• smart enough
• pretty enough
• holy enough
• thin enough
• generous enough
• musical
• healthy

...you get the picture. Whar are you not?

He goes on to talk about what people think of God, a few examples
God is:

• judging
• angry
• demanding
• dissatisfied with humans
• etc.

He points out that we often project our own negative aspects onto god.  God is so much more than anything we can projectonto  God-either postive or negative.  Why is this so easy to forget?  Why is it so diffcult to to recognize the ?Christ within us, I am like God.  I am...we are...

• Loving
• Kind
• Compassione
• sensitive to the needs and desires of others
• respectful
• creative
• beautiful

What/how are you like God?
