You know, I can’t say that I have nothing on my mind…
I always have some thoughts floating around, it is just sometimes I can’t pin down one thought…
It reminds me of Proverbs and how each verse is almost a stand alone thought. There are so many sayings, of course that is what a proverb is, but I’m in awe of the vast information in that one book alone.
I was reading the other day and there were several that caught my attention.
One I really wanted to share with a coworker about a foolish person and wheat…it really struck me. I mean I deal with people daily who just can’t seem to get “it”…no matter how much I try to force “it” on them…
And as I was about to share the comment, it hit me: I am the fool.
You see, I keep getting ground in the mortar, yet I still do the same foolish things.
I can’t seem to get it together.
His “foolishness [doesn’t] depart from him”…
And I know what I’m doing while I’m doing it.
So that makes me worse than the fool.
Because I know, yet I do not.
I don’t even try.
Not really. I’m just keeping on keeping on and doing whatever knowing good and well that this isn’t working. I’m not doing my end of the bargain.
I am the fool.
And I will continue to be pressed until the foolishness finally departs from me…
