An evil thought is an ever present gnawing at ones mind as if it were a very juicy chicken bone. It invades us a silent but deadly gas (for you Tim) and leaving devastation in its wake. The real deception begins if you believe you are above the evil. My depravity is deeper than I ever once thought. Not that a kind one hasnt crossed my mind lately or even mind-numbingly simple and dull thought. I retreat back to the simple: good gum
Let me explain. A few years ago, my husband and I were driving somewhere not terribly pressing or else I am SURE I would be thinking very intelligent thoughts. Since I was not (thinking intelligently, that is), the destination was of no matter. Tim, my husband, was quiet, which if you know us like our girls do you, you would know that was rare but nice occasion. He was deep in thought and when those thoughts were done, he wanted to tell me about them. This of course was of no surprise to me and though I was a little irritated about being ripped away from my uncompleted self talk, I listened. As profound as what he said, I can not remember for the life of me what it was. I know I will never achieve any of my above stated spirit-goals if I dont pay attention to my soul-mate. Oh well to bad this is not about him, its about me so onward. Once his last sentenced finished, Tim turned to me and lovingly said to me, Honey, what are you thinking about? Startled by this inquiry, not so much that my husband asked me but in all estimation could I even remember what I was pondering. Ah, yes. I remember thanks to my exploding taste buds. Do you really want to know what I am thinking? I mean really? I asked. He answered sweetly or maybe it was irritation, Yes honey, I really do? I replied with a grin, I was thinking, wow this is really good gum! (Spearmint Orbit, been a favorite ever since) We laughed a lot over that and still do. My family and friends are also privy to my ability to slip into sweet simplicity when needed.

Proverbs 15:16 A simple life in the Fear-of-God
is better than a rich life with a ton of headaches.
