Watching all the turmoil around me, sometimes my attitude seems to be a bit fluffy. Maybe some of that is on purpose. I try to maintain a certain amount of denial so that the seriousness of it all doesn’t weigh on me too heavily. I try to let God carry the heavy load in my approach to life.
That is why I leave the room when others are watching a sad or horrific movie. That is why I don’t want a tv in my house.
That is why I sometimes don’t finish a book I picked up. I excuse it with the statement that life itself is difficult enough and I don’t want to entertain myself with added problems,pain and perverseness.
God is trustworthy,it is all going to turn out ok in the end. Heaven is real. Heaven is not here but I am.
I’ve been reading about synergy. I keep rereading the descriptions of it. Trying to appreciate it. It is the relationship version of chutney. The sweet,salty,sour,spicy, with a tinge of bitter all hitting you together on a bed of cream cheese. The idea opposites can work together well if they accept being opposites. It takes dirt and water to grow a seed. In perfect cleanliness nothing is produced. Many seeds need a winter to flourish in a spring and flower in a summer and fruit in a fall.
So the idea is that I see one thing. You see another. And if we can exchange our ideas and work together we can have the whole picture. I agree in theory. I am puzzling over the applications. Perhaps carried to an extreme it is the idea that God can speak through the mouth of an ass and often chooses to do so. And because He does He is all the more obviously God.

Chutney. I like that comparison.
