I guess I am still on the Paul and Silas idea – or God is – because I was led to the following scripture this morning:
Psalm 107:13-16 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
I wonder sometimes, when God breaks the chains, if we stand there unbelieving. Instead of just shaking our arms and legs, and watching the chains fall away, we shake our heads, like this horse, and calmly chew our oats. Or trail mix, or whatever the case may be. God has freed us! We aren’t even tied loosely, and lookit us!
Speakin da which – I am considering a major move. I suppose it’s part geographical cure, and yes, I know, we take ourselves with us (wry grin). But is there always something wrong with that?
Seriously, I have my reasons, one of which is to escape these stupid Maine winters, I think 56 years of them is enough to know I don’t like them. I don’t need one more!
But I have other reasons …(quirks left eyebrow) (if it was capable of quirking).
Anyyyway… stay tuned …
(Thank you B is for Blessed for the scripture!)
I had a friend years ago who was bipolar, but she hid it from everyone. I wish I had known more about it back then. I learned a lot listening to the Stuff You Should Know podcast – they are great & I would recommend it to anyone who doesn’t understand what you’re going through: http://www.stuffyoushouldknow.com/podcasts/how-bipolar-disorder-works/.
