Some musings

Not to worry, I'm still here.

I just have not posted here since last Thursday because I haven't had anything I felt that was worth sharing with you all to post about...and as I've said here before, when I don't have anything to say, I will simply not say anything, rather than post something just to have something to read here. It's a lesson I'm trying to learn...and pass on to my NON-web life as well!:-)

I left off a line of that last paragraph I'm tempted to add to that last sentence, but since it was mostly a smart-aleck observation, why bother to type it?:-)

I haven't that much to say TODAY, either...I have no new thoughts on gospel music to share, but when I do, you'll read them first here! In the meantime, I'm just lying low and working on my upcoming SG History 101 article for Southern Gospel News(coming this weekend).

For today, just a passing thought on something I read(again and again).

I was browsing a gospel music message board, when I noticed a particular poster wondering aloud(in print)why some people just don't "get it".

I feel the same way often when I go out in the world and notice the multiple examples of careless, muddled thinking and expression in word, print, and deed! It is remarkable how little thought goes into a lot of what we hear and see and read...but is there any more thought involved in wondering why other people don't "get it"?

I'm talking to myself in part here, because as I said, I hear myself saying that a lot as well. Who am I, though...or who is anybody else to assume that if someone else does something differently from the way I(or they)do it or think it, that they don't "get it"? Hm? Maybe I don't "get it", and I'm too lazy mentally or spiritually to consider the possibility that that other person may be "on to" something that I'm not!

It's a line of reasoning based on the arrogant premise that the world revolves arouind me and the way I think...and THAT is a philosophy that doesn't "get it", if anything! For me, I'm much better off when I forget about the way I might think, and strive to align my mind(and heart)with the way God thinks!

When I am in line with the way our Lord looks at things(in His "will", if you will), then...and only then...do I really "get it"!

For as Jesus is quoted as saying in Matthew 7:5(GNB):"First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will be able to see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye."

If I remember wisdom like that, eventually I'll really "get it"!

That's all for today...maybe I'll take an offering now! LOL!
