Yesterday I was writing a piece about change. There have been many changes in my life. Were they good? Not all of them. Were they bad? Not all of them. I can't really detail each occasion with accurate input, yet I will say that the thing that really comes to my mind is the subject of motive. Is change a "change" or a motivated compulsion. To find the answer to this question, I tried to make a short list of the different seasons of my life where I have had changes. Wew, this was a journey that nearly exhausted me before I was done making my list. My short list. Now I know this may sound kind of like I'm trying to make a point here, but it was an interesting process as I began to recreate the events that have taken place right up till this minute. The thing that startled me the most was that I often jumped into the water without knowing how to swim. This is a little troubling because I have always ranted, especially during the crescendo of a crises, THIS WON'T HAPPEN IF YOU HAVE A PLAN!! YOU NEED A GAME PLAN!! YOU IDIOT (speaking of myself)!!!
Yep, ol bunky boy extracting some of his half the normal amount of testosterone. Planning is not a crime. The fact is, it is a very good idea. You just need to plan that the plan will need a plan for the plan of the plan. In saying this I see that I was an expert in rewriting the plan. The only problem was that my plan had no room for error, or margin as they put it more delicately. Will I be wrong for making a plan and then have it change? Should I not plan? What should I do? God had a plan. He started it. However he gave man a free will. We just messed stuff up. All the time in fact. We look back and marvel that we're still sucking air and able to watch the bible belt boys drive around the track in their "nice cars". NASCAR. Was my decision to make a change based on necessity, or compulsion. Well, I'm still working it out and all, my answer is still in the making. I'll keep you posted. "Lord as this day passes and those that are to pass, by your will, let me see the value of being slower to jump and see the value of planning for the plan of the plan. You are the perfect plan. Change my heart oh God, make it ever true. You are the potter, I am the clay, shape me and mold me Lord, this is what I pray." New changes? New motives? Sounds good to me. Love ya all. GR
