A
day or two ago someone, whom I associate with Rockport Baptist
Church, added me to their circles. I added them back as an
acquaintance, so that, if I choose to do so, I
can keep tabs on them, as I suspect they mean to do on me. You see
people, on whose ears things fall that they do not want there,
might have a tendency toward spying upon the source of that word,
thinking they are protecting those who, in reality, are in no danger
whatsoever.
I
do have some experience at this.
Years
ago, when her parents thought that I was pursuing a romantic
relationship with Tonia Adams,
they set someone upon ensuring that we would not come together. He
was only supposed to watch and intimidate, but he was such a
lunkhead, so easily observed, that it actually embarrassed Tonia to
the point of apologizing to me for what her parents were doing.
There
was a time when Tonia and I were coworkers that something happened,
so upsetting lunkhead that he very nearly popped a vessel. What was
it that so upset him?
I
held the door for my friend.
I
shouldn’t be quite so hard on him, I guess. You see, had I not
already been warned off by God Himself, I would have pursued any
opportunity with Tonia. God, though, had already said no, so I was
not doing so.
Truly,
when those who are actually blind, deaf, and dumb, think they know
everything to do with a situation, their missteps can be quite
entertaining—if you are paying attention.
The
hymn for today is a heart cry about pursuing God, and will be
available, for a limited time, to be played on MuseScore.
