IT'S NEVER NOT ABOUT GOD

I remember over 40 years ago when I got started on my spiritual journey saying to some friends, "If I'd known it was going to be this hard, I wouldn't have started."

I love that memory.

I look back now and laugh to think I thought it was my choice! Once I'd honestly made the decision to start on this path, the choice was made and given over to God to walk this journey with me, through me.

In looking back I also realize...yet again...that the hardest part of my journey, the most difficult thing I had to do  then, will ever have to do, is simply change my mind. I did not have to climb frozen snow-capped mountains, walk though 150 degree heat in the desert, go without food and water for weeks...I simply had to change my mind from "I can't" to "I can't, God can, knock yourself out, God," and then follow directions.

Someone asked me yesterday what I do when I wake up with Peggy Lee singing "Is That All There Is" in my head. I turn up the volume. I sing along with her. Loud. Ruckus gets raucous, I start laughing, and That Is All There Needs To Be. Just more proof that God loves me. My wish is that I loved Him half as much as He loves me. There...another song, "Half as Much," a good old Hank Williams' song. It's never not about God.

Thank You.
