Much Ado about nothing.....

Or should it read much a do about something?   Yes, I do believe my thoughts have been taking me down a road that I wish I could get off of, but that doesn't seem to be likely any time in the near future.  Lessons one must learn and God is gracious enough to keep bringing them back around. Although, I'm not sure it feels so gracious.  Double loop as my friend Ann would say.  Yup! Double loop!!

A couple of threads that keep repeating are;  whole foods, suffering for the kingdom, and how spoiled am I really?  They don't actually go together on the surface, but there is a connection.  As in all avenues of life there are intersections and connections.   

John 21:18 has been going around in my head, at first I thought about sharing it on Face Book but thought how dreary and morbid it sounds for the light and fluffy world of Face book.   Blog world can be a little bit deeper.....

[18] Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.” [19] (This he said to show by what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, “Follow me.” 

Much of these last years of my life seem to have this theme, I go where God leads, regardless of my own personal choices (let's say Hawaii).

Now, having said that I realize he is not sending me in to the dark jungles of the Amazon or cold desolation of Siberia, yet somedays.....

Any who I am pondering John 21:18, it calls for more faith and belief than I sometimes care to muster, hence the "how spoiled am I really"  thoughts are certainly worthy of mulling over.     Which then leads me to thoughts about my selfishness which leads me... to whole foods.   

Whole foods while being very much a good thing have become in this day and age of "I want what I want" not a choice many Americans are making for them selves. 

The fact that we have drowned ourselves in processed foods which our taste buds have grown accustomed to makes it even more difficult to facilitate a change.  Yet, change I must.  

So, you see the connection?   Self absorb, Self center, Self ish!  Yup,  Self is right smack in the center. Can you say double loop.  It all comes back around again and again.  

Just some thoughts going on in my world.  Feel free to leave a comment or two.  I would love to hear from you all.
