**********************************------------------------------------------
Ironic huh. This as I stand on the edge of the past (between past & present) figuring what to make of this vast chasm. Do I try to ignore it? Do I first feel the weight&sorrow of it- and then give it over to God? I know it's not God's will to let it bother me.
And now, here, is one more- who stands at the edge of present & future.
Oh where my generation too stood. What will they choose?
Oh that they will choose the path of life wholeheartedly... and not have to find out the hard way & end up with regrets & wasted time.
I've been through a lot but I know I've also been spared a lot.
We can think & think & write & write (endlessly) but without making decisions from the heart it's all shallow, nothing changes, nothing goes forward.
I remember when I was about 17, after a long period of months of thinking/introspection/brooding/playing the philosopher... I just came to my senses and woke up- (clearly remember thinking this)
"I need to get down off this mountain top, stop contemplating my navel- this is a bottomless pit of self-absorbtion, and "get out there" where reality and life is."
God did use that and met me there, used my situations & pain of the people around me to wake me up...to the fact that the only answer & the real purpose of life was in God (following His direction & plans)
***************How on earth did they go online today? Ug, here we go again. This week I'm running out of stuff to punish from...
