Just wondering...whether you would say you are a rolling stone that gathers no moss
Or you are a stay put, stay at home moss gatherer?

Its not likely that a rolling stone kind of person would want to stay with someone whos got roots and is settled, unless, maybe you've got multiple homes or you like the RV trailer gypsy jet set lifestyle?

Or perhaps, maybe you feel, you just stuck in one place and cant get out/escape? Or caged (though Jesus sets the captive free) so in that case, why would anybody WANT to be 'captured' hmm (war torn refugees spring to mind...crowded refugee camp vs living under a tree with a tarp for a floor in a jungle with wild tigers?)

Really isnt our human desire to live in peace and harmony? So if where you are has no peace, where do you go to find it?

I have no peace by, or from, this physical world, for it belongs to the Devil. All family is gone; all former friends are gone. Yet I am happier than I have ever been in my life. Why? Because of the justifying Work of Christ that He has bestowed upon me. What is that Holy Work?

1. Christ granted me the ability to repent.
2. Christ Circumcised my heart of the Curse that came from the unholy work of Adam and Eve.
3. Christ sent the Holy Spirit as my earthy, worldly Guide, Who causes me to be as He would have me be.
4. Christ died on the Cross to pay the penalty of Spiritual death for all things that I have done wrong.

Without this Work of Christ . . . I would have killed myself because of the Evil wretchedness that is humanity . . . the most evil, corrupt "thing" that crawls upon this beautiful planet.
 
I have lived in my different states so I can conclusively say that I'm not a stay at home type of guy. Basically, I just go with the flow. Even though I have recently moved from Florida to Tennessee I can't say that where I now reside is truly my home. I truly desire peace but will settle for contentment and do my very best with the tools and resources God has graciously provided.
 
All I can say about that is this: I just LOVE me some moss! Love it, love it, love it!
 
hmm
often its women who are told to 'stay at home' and its frowned on for them to travel and move around. Yet many women I know have travelled vast distances to follow their dream.

On the other hand the virtues of moss are often overlooked. But moss can only grow in the right conditions. Moss are like sponges, they absorb a lot of water...


Most of the time believers see themselves as pilgrims passing through this earth on their way to a better place. Yet there must be somewhere on earth that one would want to stay surely? Why are people buried in a certain place for example?

Strange. My doctor never mentioned water retention problems. Maybe I should get a different doctor.
 
I read that sheep are just animals that are looking for a place to die.

I dont know about humans though, whether the promised land is enough or if when . we get there we still arent satisfied.

I went travelling in the weekend and was at a a cafe, and overheard some people complaining about the small town that the service in cafes and resturants was really bad, but when reading the small town newspapers its the residents complaining that everything like the rates are so expensive.

I always here of people that choose to live in the city because of jobs etc then whinge and moan that its too crowded, but they fail to see that they themselves are the extra person making it so crowded!!! Or the extra car on the road is THEIRS lol
