FRIDAY THOUGHT 8/15/08

Spiritual Standoff
 
It seems to me that the people who do not want to do it God’s way are the very ones who scream bloody murder when God doesn’t do it their way.  (There is no God! God is mean! yadda yadda yadda!)
 
Maybe God gave us free will so we can choose, each day, what we will do.  The cool part is that God doesn’t interfere.  But He does let us enjoy or suffer the consequences.  Our choice.  Oh, and by the way, if we’re halfway intelligent and over the age of ten, we know the right way.  (If you need a hint, check out the Ten Commandments. Not a bad rule book.)
 
My point:  Enjoy your free will, your choices.  Oh, and if you choose poorly today, there is always tomorrow.  God bless and enjoy the many gifts that you receive, free of charge, this beautiful day.  — jri
