i've been thinking about a lot of the gray areas in my life spiritually. sometimes i'm totally against them, and sometimes i'm pretty apathetic or even supportive of them. i'm not sure if it's directly related to where i am spiritually at the time or not, but it's just funny how opinions change. we can justify anything we do and we can condemn our every action. we're our own defense lawyers, and we're our own prosecutors. right now, with all that i've got going on, i'm my own therapy.
i guess i truly know the answer. sometimes i just refuse to accept it.
When there is any debate, quit. "Why shouldn't I do this?" You are on the wrong track. There is no debate possible when conscience speaks. At your peril, you allow one thing to obscure your inner communion with God. Drop it, whatever it is, and see that you keep your inner vision clear.

Oh look at how she listens
ReplyDeleteShe says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out on to Grey Street
She thinks, “Hey,
How did I come to this?
I dream myself a thousand times around the world,
But I can’t get out of this place”
There’s an emptiness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
How she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
And though she swears it doesn’t listen
There’s still a hope in her it might
