At my age I am glad to just wake up every morning. While waking up coughing is not my favorite way of waking up there are worse ways for sure and at least I know I am alive. Every day brings new opportunities.
Have you ever wondered if anyone outside of Active Rain reads your blog? Write something that may raise an eyebrow and you will find out. I am very happy to say that a lot of local people read my blog posts. To bad that "supposedly" about a dozen of them want to lynch me.
Sadly this group in perticular is an ill informed group who want to read into my posts their own depraved sinful thoughts. Take the plank out of your own eye before you try to remove the speck in your own eye. Worse yet, their spiritual leader, Reverend Doctor Pastor Author Blogger Matthew Richards, has taken up their cause and has felt the need to inform (gossip) to other pastors about what they perceive as the truth. I could write pages on this but the root of the problem is that Matt and his ilk prefer to raise doctrine above the Word of God and do not accept that God wrote the Bible for the common man. They feel it takes centuries of theologians to tell you what it means because God could not possibly write a book for us (you and I) that we would understand. It seems to me that they are the ones who don't understand and they insult God by saying we need to look at what their favored theologian says because God could not possibly talk to you and I directly.
Sorry about the rant.
I am thankful that I woke up today and that the opportunities are endless before me. It's another day I can explore ways to help promote my son's work. It's another day I can tell others that I LOVE them and find ways to lift them up. It's another day that I can appreciate the beauty around me and thank God for what He has created. Here is wishing YOU a blessed day.
