Hello fellow Blog readers!

Dirk asked me to fill in for him whilst he takes some time off to rest his brain. I thought I’d maybe get into some Philosophy. This is a dangerous area I know and I’m skating on thin ice. I’m one of those strange folks that truly believes in fate and that there are no coincidences. How many times have you been thinking about something that you haven’t thought about for in years and then you turn on the TV and they are discussing the exact same thing? Or have you gone to a place you know you’ve never been but feel strangly at home? I don’t think it is because you’ve lived before but because you are fulfilling your destiny. I think that some people are destined to find others but that not everyone is going to find a perfect match simply because it is not their destiny to do so.

It has become in vogue to say that God is dead or that He doesn’t even exist but I beg to differ. Go outside the very next night it is clear. Find a place away from the lights and look at all of the stars. So very far away and we are so small. Who is man that thou art mindful of him? Many people think there is no God because bad things happen to good people. In such a case God seems to be saying for us to recite the Lynn Anderson gem from a few years back,”I beg your pardon, I never promised you a Rose garden”. God doesn’t give us what we can handle, He helps us to handle what we are given. He didn’t promise us days without pain, laughter without sorrow, nor sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for our pathway.

So I think we have a choice. We can choose to be happy or to be sad. We can see the glass half full or half empty. Being happy doesn’t mean everything is perfect, it means we choose to see beyond the imperfections. That goes for our jobs, our friends, our relationships. So take each day one at a time and don’t let tomorrows clouds block todays sunshine.

Thanks, Ed
