Friday, 9:30 AM. . .
Well, so far I've played for Chapel, had a good Curves workout, then I came home and made a bacon/egg/cheese wrap to chow down while pondering some written excerpts by Rick Warren, Joyce Meyer and Father John Doe. Now to get down to the business of choosing a target spot to work on in the yard. Neither Rick, Joyce nor Father John were very helpful with that decision even though their words were otherwise spiritually nourishing. Rick tells me that the best intentions are not enough; Joyce wants me to enjoy my life; Father John advises tolerance of circumstances both external and internal. I think I'll scratch around in the mulch around the Hobbit Hole to freshen it up a bit and get rid of the weeds that are poking through. Rick, that's the best intention I can come up with at the moment. Joyce, I am certainly going to enjoy myself scritching and scratching in the dirt! Father John, for the most part I'm okay with tolerating the external circumstances, however, the laws of charity you mention in regard to internal circumstances are (for me) a little more complex. I find it difficult to recognize the nervous tension and sleeplessness you mention as avenues to contentment. I'm not saying you're wrong, mind you...simply that I'm not "there yet."
But I'll give it some thought as I'm digging around the Hobbit Hole.
