Getting older is key, but aquiring WISDOM is the goal...For new years, dad and I gorged ourselves on all the food we could find that was bad for us, gorged on as much of 24 as we could stand and hit the hay. Changes...nothing much you can do about the government except vote, but it is YOU that you CAN change. And CHANGE takes time = getting old=getting wise= growing up=changing thoughts on LOTS of subjects, including,but not limited to, religious affiliation!!! Hind sight IS so much better!! That is why it is incredibally backwards to me that the wisdom comes in your life when you have already screwed up so much!! Why can't we have kids AFTER we have wisdom?!!! By the time you get a little wise about life, it is almost over!! Where is the saneness in that?! And your kids don't/won't/can't listen to you and your sage advice, you have to keep your mouth SHUT and let THEM fall through the cracks and work their way out just like you did in order to GET the dad-gum wisdom, so that they can't share it with THEIR kids!! Go figure. All that to say, Josh, that AGAIN, I AM SORRY!!! But I did what I thought was best at the time with the limited life experiences that I had. Hopefully YOU have learned from these mistakes, but don't take it to the extreme. Church is not "bad". People, including ALL of us, are "bad", and unfortunately, we make up the church, as well as the world we live in! The same with the "corporate bullshit world" you have chosen to live in...YOU don't have to BE that, YOU can change, YOU can be different, YOU can be satisfied and pleased with how you live YOUR life. THEY WILL NOT CHANGE, BUT YOU CAN! Again, the corporate world, the "church", the "club", the anything contains humanity in it and that will ALWAYS screw anything up, but it doesn't mean there is no hope. You go to work don't you? Why? There are hypocritic, bullshitting, lying thiefs there, just like there are at church or the grocery store or the cub scouts!! SO??? It is about YOU. What are YOU doing with YOUR life to be at peace with yourself and your creator. What are you doing with YOUR family that will make a difference in their lives? Your friends lives? Your co-workers lives? The lady at the check-out counters life? In wise words spoken by other brillant lyrists.....who are you? who? who? who?who? It doesn't matter who the rest of them are or what THEY are doing.
I LOVE these blogs!! They have truly been great for dad and I since everyone lives so far away. I feel like we can have some of the most truthful conversations we have ever had and I love them. I get to see pictures, hear thoughts, see excitement, hear whats on your mind....what else in life matters but family, friends and faith? You can always quite your job, like you can quite church (or as I would rather say, your spiritual pursuits), but you will become bankrupt soon in both areas. How's that gonna work for you? It truly amazes me that everyone can quite the church because of the people that go there, but they won't do the same with their jobs. Why? There is no difference. Think about it. And don't give me any grief for us not "going to a church". Give it to your dad!! We don't go to a physical building maybe, but we continue to grow spiritually by other means. Okay. I better stop. Tag. Your turn.
