Cargo pants

Just a thought about cargo pants. I see so many styles and versions of cargo pants and cargo shorts. I recenbtly purchased a pair of shorts at Value Village and was very excited at the color, style and the condition. Then, a thought. What in the world are so many pockets for? Why does any single person need so many pockets that they have to rename the clothing item after a shipping term, "CARGO"? So these pockets may be useful for various applications, but if you fill each pocket, some of which are oddly shaped and oddly placed, then your shorts would fall down due to the weight of the "cargo". If you feel you need so many items in your pocket to go with you at all times, there may be a seperate issue you may need to deal with. What do you really need in your pocket? Why can't you leave home with out it? Do you need to carry so many things with you that you might need to consider carrying a purse? Now i understand the occasional outing and you have a few items that you would not normally carry and might need for the trip, camping, hiking, etc.. But on a regular basis why? But most of us do not regularly utilize these pockets or even know the purpose for them. What is the draw? Why are they so popular? Does anyone really care?

Tell me what you normall carry in your pockets and how you use "cargo" clothes. would love to hear the feedback.

my girl

My daughter turned 1 year yesterday. her two older brothers, her mother and I are all very infatuated with our beautiful princess at home. She will control us all so easily with her beautiful smile and curiosity. The night before her birthday she and I went for a little walk up the hill behind our house. She sat buckled into the carrier strapped to my back and I huffed it up the steep incline and up the narrow trail pounded into the ground. As i worked to get us both up the hill safely and trying not to slip on the loose dirt under my worn shoe soles, Avery was enjoying the ride and singing. We got to the top and looked around and she was impressed, as was i, at the view of our neighborhood and the many dwellings and lives that are represented there. As we took the horizontal path that took us around the hill and down the other side Avery continued to sing with enjoyment of the ride and laugh at the view of our dog sniffing and frolicking in the weeds and sage of the hillside. Such peace at such a simple thing of riding on dad's back and walking. No worries, no cares, no stresses, just confidence that "Dad will take care of me and, wow look at the dog." Not knowing or caring that the next day will be her first birthday. What a reminder for us to just slow down and enjoy the ride with our father, our dad. He will take care of us and wow, look at the dog.

questions about ourselves

At what point does the pursuit of a sport become too much? At what point does the pursuit of improving a portfolio while a teenager become too much? At what point in the betterment of our status or our athletecism does it become too much? At what point does the pursuit of a scholarship over the pursuit of spiritual growth become a test of our faith in What God can / will provide? If we take the many opportunities for us to better our faith and act on those instead of trying to better our selves, would our lives become better anyway? What does bettering our selves get us when it is our faith that needs to be improved? When does the pursuit of self become sin? At the beginning.

Stupidity = ???

Galatians 2:21 "i do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ Died for nothing"... Yet does this give us permission to sin? If by obeying law I get nothing, then why obey it? If my rightesousness is by the death of christ then obedience is not necessary, right? May it never be, Christ died for me to redeem my soul, but i must live my life in gratitude. I must live my life in surrender to he who purchased it at such a high price. My life must be a refelction of the creator of life. To live a life of lawlessness is cheating my life of its full potential. My purpose is not to feel good, but to do good. My life is nothing with out the redemption of it through Jesus Christ's death on a cross for my stupidity and the stupidity of the world (assuming that we who sin behave in stupidity therefore stupidity = sin). I know in my heart and my brain that Christ did not die for nothing, but on the contrary he died for everthing.

Read Galatians and hear the passion of Paul for this suubject. First he defends his motive and then he lays into it with full passion about the jews for their apparent love for law and not for Jesus. Love it, learn it and let it lead you...

In addition...

Does anyone really read these? why bother, if it is my thoughts why would anyone really care what is said in my head. Which means if you are reading this you are in my head and reading my thoughts.....hey, get out of my head!
