2 days on the road and in the sky gives one time to think and reflect. Which led me to this conclusion.
I read in the Bible about how all humanity is fallen and cursed, yet despite that God loves every single one of us. I assume that implies that even the worst scumball dirtbag among us is still loved by God, and because of that deserves at least a modicum of respect. Yet when I mention these thoughts I am told that I am stupid, an idiot, a moron with no understanding of the issues. And that scumball dirtbags deserve to die in the most disrespectful way possible, without even an ounce of mercy.
I read in the Bible about how we are not to seek after riches. I try to follow that by being prudent but generous with our money. We have what we need to be comfortable, when we need more it seems to appear to meet the need. I believe that beyond that we should not horde it but use it to help others who deserve housing and food and medical care, among other things. I believe employers should pay honest workers a wage that allows them to acquire these things on their own. Yet when I share these thoughts, again I am told that I am stupid, an idiot, a moron with no understanding of the issues. That I should instead be using the money on speculative investments in the goal of padding our bank account. And that everyone else should just fend for themselves without anyone's help. That indeed, if they need help they must be lazy and sponging off others and don't deserve to be healthy fed and protected.
I read in the Bible how God wants us to bear fruit, and that He has given us specific gifts to help produce that fruit. Yet when I talk about using the gifts today I am once again told that I am stupid, an idiot, a moron with no understanding of the issues. And even worse that I have a demon.
It seems that maybe I am stupid, a moron, without understanding and possessed. So many people seem to think I am.
So please pray that God gives me wisdom and understanding - oops there I go again, wanting after things that no longer exist. D@m demon.
My head is so spun...
Maybe just pray that God make me a little less stupid and a little less possessed.
