Anything but Mine

 Listen, reasons never will explain.
Freedom, is just to save time,
'Til I'm strong enough,
To bend and not break.

I'm standing on the hardline,
Taking my sweet time
Praying that you'll see why,
I'm slow to change.

- Waylon Jennings

With four inches of fresh snow it is difficult to feel the warmth of the summer portrayed in the video.  The feelings are rather easy to come by.  They are the result of reality taking hold and making its presence known.  There are things far from our control.  I know why people can question the existence of God.  Especially when things hurt.  It is curious how He is not questioned when things are running smoothly.  But one bump in the road and everyone wants to debate the presence of the One who made the car.  Funny thing about humans and human nature.  I do find it interesting that beyond our own perceptions, life has a way of happening.  We can climb our personal mountains, shake our fist at the sky and demand answers, but, our mountain is not Sinai.  We have to come to terms with the reality that is, not always what is hoped.  I think that by focusing on what it should be, and how much that can hurt, we forget how great what is.
