For those who follow this blog - know me personally - I am back in Illinois. Different from Arizona. In Arizona I can easily walk outside - see blue skies - smell fresh air - enjoy pleasant temperature. In Illinois - different - pick one skies - gray - over cast - sometimes blue - air pleasant - not so nice - filled with tiny bugs flying all over in and around your face - not nice. Yes country living - enjoyable with limits. People - as everywhere - that makes any place you call home - different. Unfortunately so many are caught up in the politics of the day. Who says what - how do they say it - is there anger - joy in their voice? Mix in personal obstacles that many face - affectes your own experience.
When God created this world - all was good. Then Mankind got involved - since that day individual personalities - ideas - motives have affected God's creation. Today we live in a world that holds many differing concepts - ideas - situations - which by themseles does not mean that our lived experience of life needs to be bad - unhappy. If each of us would take a step back - take a deep breath - look at life around us - we might see the world God intended. Some will - many will not - controlled by their individual thoughts on what their life should look like. Many will chose differently from God - they think they know better - if only God would listen to me - not a good idea. For those who live the life God planned - good for you - for those who know better - are smarter than God - good luck.
