It’s getting easier. I was trying to explain the fasting process to one of the guys in the golf league the other night, I was trying to explain to him how after a certain amount of time, your body realizes you ain’t gonna feed it and the alarms stop going off. The hunger pains, the shaking and such. He was intrigued.

I am doing very well with the flesh part of this so far….meaning, I think God is using certain things to bring out anger in me so I better recognize when I am angry and for what reasons if that makes any sense. We all know I am blunt, somewhat rude and to the point, but that doesn’t mean I have to be that way. I have always desired a complete overhaul of my personality without ever really trying to do it. I always relied on the fact that I was a Miller and if you knew us, you would understand. There aren’t too many families who get together every single holiday, birthday, whatever…..as many of them as can show up, and get in fights! lol.

I have seen fist fights on Christmas and beer bottles chucked 70 mph on Thanksgiving at peoples heads. Everyone ducks, chuckles and then it’s back to playing cards.

Funny thing about my family. We NEVER hold a grudge. We all get together again the next time like nothing ever happened.

I think that is why I am the way that I am when it comes to letting stuff just slide. I don’t get offended often, and when I do, it is usually for like 10 minutes. I take it in, get aggravated, deal with it and then move on. No biggie.

That, though, is largely the reason I treat others the way I do. I expect people to be like me. Unfortunately, they are not.

I really am a nice guy once you get to know me and understand me. I wish I could change and hope to change certain parts of my personality. But I also know that God made me who I am for a reason and at times the “Joe Freekin Miller’s” of the world are needed to help move the unmovable. (or should I say, “drag the lazy”)

Anyways, if you are reading this, know that I love you. Know that deep down there is a heart in here and I need my friends as much as anyone else. Will I ever be a Pastor of a church? Hell no. lol. I just ain’t that compassionate.

I would be the Pastor of the only church in Ohio with 1 person in it……ME. Cause my wife wouldn’t even come!!!!

I will be back tonight.
