  RE-read my previous post.
Lol, you can tell I spend alot of time listening to those all night radio preachers across Nebraska and Wyoming. Sorry about that.

Been thinking about it all day.
Another way to look at it is that when you live on the edge, sometimes you slip.


I don't know, just my opinion.

"why me and not him?"

Some one told me once that it's hard to see because we are mostly blind.
  We can only see what is directly in front of us and for a very short distance. He who was here before anything else can see MUCH farther than we can and we just have to trust in the fact that he has a plan. That's why they call it faith. Blind Faith.
A soldier can see the battle field.   A general can see the war.  That kind of thing.

I love my dog and I think she's pretty smart, but she can never understand WHY the overhead light comes on and off. She just knows it does when she runs under it. Easy for me to understand because I installed it.  She cannot fathom motion sensors, solar lights, or why she cant play in the street.  Her dog brain cannot accept or hold that much knowledge.  I cannot explain it to her.

She doesn't have to fully understand. She can't. 
   She just has to trust me.

The difference between my dog and me., intellectually, is quite small compared to the difference between me and one who installed time and space.  Why/when he calls some home and not others is beyond any explanation that we are able to understand.

We don't have to fully understand. We can't.
   We just have to trust him.   

Sorry, long winded again....

Just thought I'd add...not only did God find me...but I became superstitious too.  Wink  Knock on wood...you want to be certain to cover all the bases...can't hurt, right?  Use all the "support" available.  Keep your friends close...and your enemies closer...well, maybe at arms' length. Smiley  Be blessed...all of you.

"I'm so lost, not even God can find me."  Don't you believe it.  God will always find you.

Amen to that!!!

Terrible happening yesterday over Dallas...six souls and two beautiful aircraft gone...devastating...a real stunner.  There are a lot of folk left to contemplate the meaning of it all...people with no real answers...why?

For what it's worth...there was a time when I didn't consider myself to be "religious."  I was above all that stuff...superstition.  Then...when people around me began to "go down," I became pretty bitter about it all, and "The Man" was very handy to blame.  That made things much worse...until finally I arrived at an answer...at least one that satisfied myself.  Oh, I was still unhappy at circumstances, but at least now I could accept it.  Basically...why him and not me?  Well, as simple as this sounds...my job remains...there's still something for me to accomplish...to learn...to experience.  Mine is NOT to "quit my post."  These "tragedies" are there in our lives for a reason.  Told you this was simple.  Yes, be sad...even bitter...then get on with it.  That's what we do.  Old saying..."I'm so lost, not even God can find me."  Don't you believe it.  God will always find you.

Love you all...Neal
