A tree branch, feet washing, and 4 aces.
What a day! As a prince of God, it is interesting to watch how the world works sometimes.
Cases in point- Today as I was walking back to a chill out beach with some friends near the Zumbro River a small dead tree fell right in front of us as we were crossing the street. I was sure that our other friends did it, because they were talking about getting firewood for the fire. Well, the tree was big, dry, and so lightweight that I could carry it with one hand. And so I did, straight down to the river where it burned long and beautiful!!
When we got back, I made everyone wash their feet in my bathtub, which was a somewhat spiritual experience as well.
But the kicker was tonight. Ever since God showed me the "prince of God" thing, I have said in circumstances such as cards, "I expect princely cards. Nothing else is good enough for me." I have also said, "If I'm playing with other princes and princesses of God, I have no problem losing, but it is going to be to one of the best hands. I'm not going to lose to crap, because we are worthy than better than that." Some people have thought I'm arrogant, but screw that. I just know who I am and demand nothing but what a prince has a right to.
Tonight is a perfect example. I played a very, very good game of poker, ultimately going "all-in" with a full house, AAAKK. This is nearly unbeatable. The three aces were community cards, and I had pocket kings. But Aaron, my only opponent at this point in time, HAD THE OTHER ACE!!!! WOWWWW!!!!!
I don't know if you have ever seen a 4 aces hand before, but it is exciting, and I was very pleased at losing to such a fine hand.
That is the way it is for princes of God.
