FAITH ABORNING...PITCH COMMON SENSE

If my head is not free of me, me, me, all the still more spiritual growth I have or think I have will, to quote the late and beloved Sen. Everett Dirksen, "have all the force and effect of a snowflake on the bosom of the Potomac."

A word about me, me, me which is simply ego...and here's another turning point: We begin to understand that me first in thought is a this-world necessity. Otherwise scrupulosity rears its rigid, righteous and right head...oops, we're slip-sliding down that road of self-wrapped regrets again. 

Fully accepting me first as God's will is necessarily hard to allow. But it is akin to most if not all of God's gifts which seem to be the opposite of intelligent thought...as in the ridiculously glorious resist not evil...once we've got that it puts the period to most mental resistance. 

It's the egoic mind that takes good to the outside of enough...as in, if me first is good, than me, me, me is triply good. No it isn't. Me first is our commitment to do God's will to the best of our ability trusting him at our back. Triple me is ego on the march without a thought for God's will.

If it makes sense, it's most likely ego...if it doesn't, it's probably God. Get grateful...that's how faith is born, bred and blooms. According to me.

Thank you.
