It's 2:12 am and I can't get to sleep. I am getting over a bout with food poisoning. Must have been that dad gum Jimmy Dean's Breakfast Sandwich I ate Sunday morning. Wow! Didn't know a person could projectile vomit that much stuff. Dang! Anyway ... I was lying in bed, my mind wandering, as it tends to do more often than not and I thought, "ya know, that phrase SHIT HAPPENS is wrong. Life happens ..." Yup, no foolin', I thought that. At 2 am on Wednesday morning, March 10th I thought that. I was pondering all the negative, hurtful things that have gone down in my life ... fortunately for me I had a good upbringing (although apparently my estranged sister and I don't share that feeling), so I had a solid foundation. I mean, a person definitely has a better chance of making it through life with a minimal amount of damage to their psyche if they are close to God ... as in an intimate relationship. I have often said that I didn't know how people make it in this life without God. We can only carry ourselves so far on our own ... then we run out of whatever it is that we run out of ... desire, intestinal fortitude, gumption, moxie, whatever it is. With God we look past ourselves and straight into the face of God, which is seen in others or something of that nature. Being still before God, which has always been a struggle for me, helps to sort things out sometimes. So, back to my point about life happening ... we all have choices to make throughout our lives. For better or for worse, we make these choices and must live with the consequences that result from those choices. How we handle those consequences says a lot about our character.
The real question I keep asking and can't seem to find an answer for is "Now explain to me why God bothered created us if He knew all THIS would happen again?"
Is this inane? You decide ...
