I have been kind of silent recently because sometimes it is better to keep your musings and ramblings to yourself. Sometimes it doesn't help to express all your thoughts, especially in such a public forum as a blog. With the current environment of politics, religion, and changes happening in the world, I have decided to not weigh in on all the negativity. The media makes its living feeding the negativity, and we without discipline overeat all the media feeds us.
With that confession, I also feel a need to bring about some positivity. How many times have we been in a poor economic situation, only to discover the goodness in people? How many times have we disagreed with someone politically or theologically, only to discover they are the one there for us when times are rough? We need to be more focused on the positive, in others, in ourselves, in the world.
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:4-8
