Rustys mate.... Dare I step in? DBrunner said correct, "a Saloon Fight".... while I may have enjoyed such in my younger years (and certainly paid the legal penalties for such stupidities)... I think the new icecream parlor across the street (with the view of the Saloon) is ok for me...
Lets see, focus... ... .... Imagine that our Sun is about 900 thousand miles in diameter... we are some 93 million miles from it (although a good sunburn reminds us that we are at the perfect distance for life to thrive here).... and that our planet is just a speck by comparison..... imagine reducing the sun to the size of a grain of sand on the shore..... and then compare that grain of sand to the size of our planet earth..... There are Stars out there that are that much bigger than our Sun by comparison........ The Universe is awe inspiring, organized and I believe as you do Linda, created by One who controls that power, can use it to destroy and can use it for good. Historically, He has used it to destroy those who lack Humility, to bring down the haughty and eliminate those who "know it all"....... When his son walked our planet some 2000+ years ago, he called the highly educated of his day hypocrites because they were always rustling up the emotions of the followers with man made doctrine...not what was written in the original scrolls... .... ... Life is short for now, Love is always the Best rule in any situation no matter what others do, and taking care of your mate should be your focus.......
There is immeasureable power that surrounds us on a daily basis.... but according to the good book, God listens to you and I. Are we humble enough to acknowledge his existance?...if so, are we appreciative enough to let him know that?
God knows where every wreck is, he knows where every speck of material came from that is on the bottom of the sea and he knows the life histories of every man, woman and child that went down on those boats.......... they are there in his memory for now.......... the shiny stuff really doesn't matter to him.
Focus on your family and focus on you. Who are you? and who do you want to be. We all want business to succeed and we all hope to make a buck or two as that is just life...but it is not living. Some of the wealthiest persons I know are the most worthless....and visaversa...... "Love thy neighbor" right? Fighting and bickering and throwing poo is for another species......and sadly mankind in general has lowered himself to that level by immersing himself in greed, covetousness and the old "lust for control and power", have taken the lives of well over 100 Million mostly innocent people in warfare just in the last century.....and it continues today...... it must look pretty pathetic from space..... must be very disheartening to our Creator who gave us so much to enjoy every day should we choose to look for it. "Smell the roses" and say thanks.......those who may be cheating, lying and harming intentionally have to live their own lives and with their own thoughts. I think they missed a lot in life.
Applies to us all... Eph 4:29.... KJames version "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."
