If there was a coffee or mustard stain on your shirt or pants would you bother to be embarrassed? Because of the masks we’re wearing how many of us are worried about having a clean snot canal? What? They’re honest questions! I heard a quote yesterday. Because of the pandemic our lives have changed but not the days. We wake up expecting to do things. By 4pm we haven’t budged on anything. 8pm rolls around and we’ve forgotten what we were supposed to do so we go to sleep to wake up to a new day. My tax accountant knows of this new age of procrastination. October 15th was the extended due date and multiple amounts of people were endlessly calling him for a second and third chance. Is it my imagination or has the single burger at Wendy’s gotten smaller? Wanna know something else that people haven’t heard or are totally ignoring? There were 25 hundred new Covid-19 cases reported in North Carolina yesterday. It’s a new single day high. Eight months into this pandemic and we still can’t get our heads out of our ***. On this podcast episode I’m gonna do everything I can to help turn this mess into a positive. The heart is only so strong. Our legs can only carry so much weight. Are you ready to face a tougher question? One that’ll probably turn you off and force your instinct to march to a different page? Is our faith in God so unstoppable that we physically believe that we’re untouchable? 25 hundred new Covid cases in North Carolina in one day. My father would grab me by the nap of my neck and latch onto my hair so I couldn’t get away and sternly shout, “What part of this aren’t you understanding? I’m looking for an answer not an excuse! Where along the line did you suddenly make your decision making greater than common sense?” 25 hundred. Personally this isn’t how I thought the rapture would play out. Are we living the existence of the making of what could be the Anti-Christ? Why did I take it there? Did I really need to bring up what so many children feared while growing up? Church for me in 1970 wasn’t about unbelievable worship bands and God being nice. Up in Montana we grew into a pair of shoes that put the fear of the Almighty into our decision making. We heard about the end of the world over and over again. The accountability at hand honestly has nothing to do with conspiracy theories and or spiritual beliefs but rather a personal decision to challenge ourselves to be real and stay real. To be aware and not falsify the facts. There’s no such thing as flying pigs. But I’ve fallen witness to the flying squirrels of Montana. They say Old Faithful at Yellowstone is probably gonna stop. In 400 years or more! There’s a positive in your everyday world. Everyday! Your positive is located in your choice. You have the power to make a physical choice to be or not to be positive. Uncertainty isn’t new. It’s been here since the beginning of time. How you choose to deal with it determines the presence of your positive.
