<Why would it be a curse...? We have no choice but to be 'known' by God...He is Omniscient and that is a blessing!> We all have differing beliefs about God, so I suppose it depends upon one's perspective. I happen to think God is a perfectionist, and that true perfection is found in His nature. This fact, coupled with His Omniscience, does not bode well for any mere man, however much he admires his own heart. <About the summer plans thing... I really don't plan any further than the immediate...if that makes any sense...<ggg>> It is a good way of being, coey-- at least for a time. My father-in-law recently called me from Greece and when in the course of our conversation I asked him his plans for returning to the states, he said he had no plans-- would return when the spirit moved them. I thought this just grand. This man has marched to plans all his life, and yet after all this time has the ability to try a new way. Its not exactly my way, but perhaps one day I will try it. I am too sentimental for that kind of life. Even on vacations I like the idea of having an anticipated day of returning home. It never fails that my mind begins turning toward home midway between any trip, and if my wife is not with me, I actually grow sad, proceeding rapidly toward misery. Plans give me a goal on which to set my mind and efforts. Hard to live without them, though I will try it sometime-- perhaps. <I take waaaaayyy too much medication to have enough energy or capacity for 'excitement', so I am limited...> I see. Well I had surmised something of this sort, but thought you might yet enjoy going into the warm weather, sitting with friends or a good dog, and sipping mint juleps in the shade of some grand tree (grin). I've done this quite a lot and it is great fun. My wife and I are not exactly spring and summer folk, but we do enjoy tea and even dinner outside at those times of year. <...but I had fun whilst I was able to...and that's good enough for me. Acceptance eventually came.> Well now, I think this is one reason I find you so interesting. You seem a suvivah.
