20150720.007 RAMBLINGS

Based on the title of this blog you might assume that I am going to just ramble about various things, and you would be correct.  So here goes.

Recently I was perusing FACEBOOK and happened across a meme that said, “STRANGE, BUT PEOPLE WITHOUT GUNS RARELY SHOOT ANYONE.” I mention this because it started an interesting conversation within my head. Even if I had a gun, I doubt that I would shoot anyone. I tend to be a pacifist. I abhor violence and the most I ever do in way of violence is yell.  And even then, it is more comical rather than scary.  But the conversation is deeper than anything like that. I have also been watching ARROW and DAREDEVIL on NETFLIX and living out a super hero’s life vicariously. But, I realize that I could never be a super hero.  Besides the fact that I am fat and I would look horrible in tights, I just can’t deal with violence.  It isn’t who I am. In fact, I would rather die than have to inflict violence on another. Ultimately, I believe that violence is NOT the answer.

I went to Church this morning and had an ah-ha moment.  Maybe the reason why life seems to be at a standstill for me is because it is.  Maybe I need to experience Sabbath - rest! Maybe the reason why I failed so miserably at the church was because I was so convinced that I need to keep plugging away at something - anything - and so I met a brick wall to get me to simply STOP. I encountered the people who just wanted me gone. Ah ha!

I wonder if I will ever get to the gym to exercise. For that matter, does it really matter where I go? I need to exercise here and get my butt in gear. Will it always be a never ending struggle to do something? Will I ever get an answer?

Here ends the ramblings. Now back to your regularly scheduled blog already in progress! Blessings everyone! - David L.
