I see mo one else commented Well, I confess i dont usually read bogs and hd forgotten you hve one ... but `i read over your lst few posts since September and liked the one based on CS Lewis' thoughts (about all those glorious beings who are our neighbours and friends, you remember ...) and I thought Id say hi. So you think you are an over thinker. Or should i say, "So you think YOU are an over thinker ?????" <br /><br />So randomly responding to some of your thoughts:So glad the heavens have burst open and flooded you with something good, that's always nice! I don't much agree with the culture of aiming to be rich which, though it will be hotly denied, is what many Christians see God as a route towards ....I do understand the impetus on an individual level, but we must guard against swallowing the prevailing culture; it is so prevalant, it seeps into out thinking, our assumptions,and is difficult to escape from. The culture of status, acquisition, social climbing - its so empty. My goal is to be FREE!!! One can never be free while these dominate our thinking. Yet how to do it? Constant renewing of the mind, i suppose. And filling the mind with REAL riches.I'm sucked in as much as anybody! And I totally see why anyone would ant a flat, a car and better job, and I hope you do get all of those!!! My conclusion is tht anyone who is ALIVE is constantly in a state of tension between poles - and growth is the process of finding, or even just struggling towards, resolution between the opposites. If we were not involved in this struggle, we would be spiritually dead. To stay alive, however, we must not satisfy ourselves with th first answer that comes along ... be willing rather to change our views, and change our behaviour.Its good to be alive, and not dead, and I hope you stay as alive as you are.<br />Bye for now .. love, Jane.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06206882909636549173noreply@blogger.com
