As A Man Thinketh...























Ever felt that you were on the backside of the mountain, looking up from the valley where you’re currently wading shallow waters of river deep concerns? It‘s perhaps a dark period of your life now, and need to seek more common ground. You’re prone to someone’s shoulders to cry on where time and place demand accountability. How does one go about keeping their heads above water and coping with losing close and loving friends…those that have clung close to the ribs, tugged at the heart, and gave new meaning to significance? I think on things that tend to give me spasms of the mind, dwelling on them, and allowing them to spur me to action, but it’s not about me. I think about those in this predicament. I endeavor to get them out of this stupor. As a man thinketh so is he, the adage goes, but who else would you turn to? The answer is all apparent -- the Lord.

It's time for you to pay homage to that which will free you from bondage, and allow your melancholy blue to bright colors akin to illuminating light and rays of hope. You’re not alone...God has His hand on your shoulders. You’ve listed to your Pastor and he has enlightened you. It's like that train that chugs up that mountain looking for willing passengers, not losing steam each step of the way. The traces of erstwhile tears pale against the tracks that the train is traversing, looking for destination without being destitute, and better directions to focus for clearer vision. It’s time for you to make discernible options and endeavor to make better decisions how you strive for quality living. As you think and tinker with time, the temerity of fate will test your faith, but you are still blessed and highly flavored. Okay, you’ve heard that whisper…that still small voice that packs a whale of a punch. When He speaks, one must listen. As you stand, that mountain is not so rough after all, the river can now be navigated, and the lilies of the valley are in full bloom! You’d want to thank the Lord for joining you on the road to Damascus. You have once again been lifted up from adversity and have been righted a better course. As a man thinketh your head indeed is to the sky, and you are alive!
