Some questions have no known answers

Today I have been semi-busy...which means that I didn't get a lot done.  I am doing a little research and will probably look a lot of things up for the next few days.  I have come to the conclusion that there isn't any all encompassing answer to all things and that all things are not of the intellectual possibiltity of knowing or ingesting.  Some things are just not meant to be. This isn't a new conclusion, but I thought I would try to delve into the mystery of faith and of prayer.  Some things are just beyond human understanding or interpreting.  What we don't know is greater than we can ever realize on the human level, but being inquisitive creations we try to put a literary spin on all factors, events, actions or emotions, that impress upon our wee minds.  Words are powerful, it is said, thus we try to impart our limited understanding of all things of God and man, in verbose compilations.  Whew!  That in itself was a mouthful of verbosity!  I gotta stop that!

I did need to got to the store and get a few items, and of course I forgot a few things which means that I will have to go back.  I have my mind on too many interesting ideas that are swimming about in my little brain.  I either need a bigger brain or to have less going on within it.  Take your choice!  Sometimes all the musings and...ahem...thinking that roils around in my shrinking brainiac of diminishing cellular connections...does worry me!  And makes me anxious!  Where oh where did I put my brain cells?  Oh well.

WISDOM IS
THE PRINCIPAL THING;
THEREFORE GET WISDOM
AND WITH ALL THY GETTING,
GET UNDERSTANDING.

Proverbs 4: 7

SETTLE IT THEREFORE
IN YOUR HEARTS,
NOT TO MEDITATE
BEFORE WHAT YE
SHALL ANSWER.
FOR I WILL GIVE YOU
A MOUTH AND WISDOM,
FOR WHICH ALL YOUR
ADVERSARIES
SHALL NOT BE ABLE
TO GAINSAY
NOR RESIST.

Luke 21: 14-15

It sound so simple when you read it, but to live it isn't so easy.  I don't suppose life in the Spirit was intended to be all that easy or without effort.  If it were not a life without bumps and bruises along the way our existence would be very dull and with little merit.  We need to copy a famous financial ad...we must "earn it."  God's love for us is free, but we must love Him in return.  Right?  Right!
