Aging Thoughts

As I age I realize my thoughts are not necessarily aging but my desire to keep my thoughts to myself is aging or maturing.  Of course, I would like to believe is is maturing because that would actually point to some positive choices on my part.  What I do comprehend is that I am content with my convictions on most subjects and that having others agree with me is not of the importance it used to be.  I have matured enough to realize that I cannot change anyone, their thoughts or their behavior.  Personal choice is simply that, personal choice.  At this stage in my life I am using more of my energy to discuss the consequences of choices and the benefits of biblical behavior.  I hope to finish my course and to finish well.  The last few weeks have afforded me the opportunity to hold several of my thoughts captive for my own amusement and not to take in the thoughts of others lest I be robbed of my own inner peace.  Having said all of that, I hope you were able to follow my aging thoughts to this simply observation..... we all have opinions and we are all welcome to our own opinions on ANY and  ALL subjects.  Even God does not force HIS thoughts on us, we get to choose.

Yeah, I still have some thoughts!

Yes, I know six months have passed since I posted anything on my blog.  My thoughts are obsessive as I wonder if we will ever find everything we have lost.  Glasses, keys, and even money.  I am always amazed when I consider what is happening in our daily lives and how it parallels with my knowledge of God and how he relates to mankind.  We are never lost from HIS eyesight.  HIS eye is upon the sparrow why not me?  He knows where I am and what I am encountering.  There is comfort in knowing I am always in HIS care.  My ability to misplace things is not reflective of God's nature at all.  It is reflective of the fact that Popa and I are aging.
