  • This Morning ....

    I need to have perspective.
    For, to me? It seems no great thing to continue on
    in these circumstances.

    How would I view my friend, who has lost her dog, her marriage,
    and her father in a twelve month period?
    What view of her would I have if she moved 100 miles from home?
    No friends, no family, no work?
    What would I think of a nearly fifty year old woman
    that insists she is an artist, a seamstress, a craftsman and yet -
    earns not enough to pay even her rent.

    And what of THIS! She says her faith is in a God she cannot see!
    That she relies not on man for her provision but to this God
    she hungers to serve!

    OH! and there's MORE!
    She moves to a city with unbelievable crime?
    And doesn't even bother to turn on the news!
    Relying instead on the protection of her Invisible God!

    Here's what I think.

    The woman must be CRAZY.
    Just that simple.
    She obviously has more faith than I can account for!
    Her daughters look to her for training and guidance.
    What maniacal  beliefs she must be teaching!

    And yet. She sits here daily -
    while the sun slowly warms an Eastern sky and
    cries out to the God she trusts with her life and
    believes He hears her!

    What foolishness!

    To believe He creates desire and then fulfills it?

    The woman is a sideshow!

    The
    woman
    is ....
    me.
