Like Mind or Mind Blown....

I don't how you all are doin' out there with so much to think about. There's something about learning from doing that just can't be duplicated by mulling things over and rehashing past performance. The longer you live the more there is to mull over and rehash and many times it just leaves you stymied and confused. Maybe that's why they say that ignorance is bliss. I have to admit, I have a lot on my mental plate and a great deal of it gives me indigestion. I don't know how things got so complicated. I like simpicity like "love the Lord with all your heart, all your mind and all your soul". That's not an event or a concept or a paradigm. It's a relationship and one that I desparately need. I'll tell you who complicated this whole thing. WE DID!

I can't imagine any of us draining the personal relationships that we have with friends and family by relating to them as if they were story book characters. My Dad was real. I know that for sure. He paddled my butt all the way across the corn field when I was nine years old. He also made me a beautiful box kite. Yes, he loved me and he chastized me. I wonder where all that fathering came from. Maybe, just maybe it came from God the Father who loves us all more than any of us will ever comprehend this side of glory.

Are you looking for like minded folks? Is your mind on overload. I suggest that you find a brother in the Lord and have him stand in front of you and scream at the top of his lungs. Then you scream back. That will make you kindred and you won't have to think about one thing.

Peace my friends!
