I have written a lot about the issues I have had at my J-O-Bs.
The image of myself I developed as a result of the positions I have held over the years. Thinking less of myself because I don’t carry a brief case or use a stethoscope and I don’t own my own business. From an early age our society indoctrinates us to think that kids either grow to be doctors or lawyers or, really any job that requires the wearing of a tie, or you’re a loser.

I read a discussion on a site I frequent about how telling people they are going to hell in not the way to get them to love and accept God’s love.
I don’t disagree.
I often talk, here at PADAG, about finding God’s will for your life – as I have come to believe that’s part of what I can do to help people – find their way closer to God.
Something that I have struggled with for years is my own direction and the thing is the answer has always been right in from of me.
Pick a Direction and Go!
I now have an e-mail address that is consistent with my website.
You can now reach me at “mick@mickholt.com”
Feel free to drop me a line and let me know how you’re doing and what you’ve been up to.
You guys are he best!
Thanks

I believe that I have been punishing myself – not for something I have done but something I want to do – for the gift God’s given me.
From Indian Jones and the Last Crusade
It is not always easy to follow God. This is a lesson I learned – ironically as I taught it this morning.
Jesus knew the final outcome of his mission here on Earth. He knew that he would ascend to glory and sit at God’s right hand. He was with God when the plan was devised. He helped implement it from the beginning but he had to go through Hell to get there – literally.
I don’t mean to brag but I am on Facebook – a lot!
See nothing to brag about there. In fact, I should probably cut back some of my “facebooking” – I love how we’ve turned a social media site into a part of speech.
VERB! That’s what’s happening.
The more time I spend mindlessly scrolling through what my friends from high school did over the weekend and who is seeing what movie the more I am aware of how it is used as a means to express your personal feeling and beliefs. You can freely rail against Liberals, openly assail the Tea Party, support this cause or that, post a picture for an hour to raise awareness for Autism, MS and the need for the BUCS to dump their failing…TEAM.
OK – I wanted to get mine in there too.
Because of some encouraging people that are part of Jon Acuff’s START Experiment – #STARTEXP, some VERY encouraging people over at Sammy A’s site and – yes you too mom – I decided to post this. Trying to embrace #alltheawesome while punching my fear in the face – and adding a body blow for good measure!
This is from the first time I took the stage. It’s a short clip. I would love to hear you thoughts.

Editor’s Note* – This morning I am only publishing a short poem titled “untitled” as I am being featured on the site Careless in the Care of God as a guest poster – not like one you’d find in your bedroom, assuming your a teenager still. You can get to her site at the link above or by clicking here. To get to my post click here or here.
The site belongs to my new friend April Best and It would be great if you check out some of her posts and showed her some comment love while you’re there – please let her know how you found her site – we love that sort of thing. Now, without further ado…

God has made redemption so easy.
Have faith – you’re good. Accept his gift – you’re in. Trust what Jesus did on the cross – you’re solid.
It is no more complicated than that.
