That is ALL of us.
Who among us really wants our lives put on a billboard on the interstate? Not me,
for sure. I only hope not to be taken unaware because the world will talk
forever about my dirty house, my unfolded laundry and my multitudinous animals.
And that's just the innocent stuff.
Who
wants to admit to the times I've hurt people, let them down, not come through?
The times I've done stuff that I don't even want God to know, but He
does?
So
then, why are we constantly thriving on the missteps of others, like it is
going to make us look better? It's not. The worst criminal or the
most depraved acts of meanness and cruelty do not shine my crown. It's
tarnished all on its own. And until I work to shine it up, it'll stay
that way.
There
have been many accusations thrown around through this political campaign and
not limited to the national offices. It seems that that mud-slinging has
been a springboard for personal nosiness and judgments of our
"friends" and neighbors. Friends is in quotation marks because
a friend would not do these kinds of things to others.
It
was a sad day last week when Big Tex burned. It was like the symbol of
Texas was gone. And what is the United States without Texas!
It
is an even sadder day when people can't find any more worthwhile activities
than to mess in the business of other people and then spread their judgments
like rose petals at a wedding. There is so much more to life, be it
crochet, grandchildren, baseball or craftsy activities. Go to church.
Go to the grocery store. Volunteer at something. Get a life,
for Pete's sake, and live it, not someone else's.
