Many of my thoughts, attitudes, motivations, expectations still need refining. Recently God has taken me into situations where I&#39;ve been asked to help with conflict, confusion and change. Repeatedly I&#39;ve needed to call attention to blind spots that kept friends and colleagues from new effectiveness in God plans. But the mirror I&#39;ve held for them is a two sided mirror. &quot;Oh My!! I&#39;m like that!!&quot; The shock is painful. But with it comes with beautiful grace. God loves me enough to show me. <br /><br />I remember learning to draw and color and write as a boy; sweet memories. I remember gracious older teachers sitting beside me on miniscule chairs, guiding my hand and showing me how. I remember thinking, &quot;Teacher likes me.&quot; God&#39;s like that... never iritated, never frustrated, never impatient, constantly teaching. He&#39;s got wonderful plans for me and He knows what I can become. I do grow weary of working on me. But I never grow tired of God&#39;s tender and sweet grace. He loves me and more. He likes me.Brian Daniel Stankichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03588500291867768530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287407288079045544.post-4116954574204744622009-06-12T05:53:27.676-04:002009-06-12T05:53:27.676-04:00Just started my own blog.

You do look good for your age if that is your real age!!!! Will be thinking of you this week as well. I clicked on the marriage book and you are the only one out there that has read/commented on it, so I guess I will add it to my list.<BR/><BR/>PattyPattynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287407288079045544.post-70720103431156853682008-11-06T07:56:00.000-05:002008-11-06T07:56:00.000-05:00Hey Brian,<BR/><BR/>Cool Blog.
