God's Plan:

It's His plan not mine. Yet I feel a constant need to fret and deliver suggestions to His plan. I seem to have a better methodology for divining a plan as I spend hours, days, and longer having conversations, thoughts, and even list development on the plan for my life. It is amazing to me that I continually develop plans for my life as if my decision making is the reason for my success; and I am proven wrong time and tome again. I never seem to have what I want to happen, but what needs to happen occur. It's almost as if I am a child who is about to go to a surprise with my Father and I am anxious worried, and constantly trying to figure it out what the surprise is. I run through all the possibilities about what the surprise is where it will take me or simply the way it will effect me and my feelings. Every time I have a surprise coming it always seems to work out better, not always more enjoyable, then what I have concocted in my head, or spent hours, days and longer fretting over.

God's Plan is His plan for me, it is not predetermined, but laid out for me to follow. I can choose to hold the Father's hand and go with him in trust or design my own way to follow his plan. The way I choose to follow His plan is for me to decide but His way always seems to be better than anything I could imagine or worry about.

Until Later-

Being Retired is Tiring

I have never been busier than since I have been Retired and not working a normal job. Don't get me wrong running a business is a job, but I allow an employee to do a majority of the work. I have gotten a lot of remodeling done and several other fix it/get to it finally kind of tasks. This has really reminded me that we as people are BUSY. Why are we so busy---We make ourselves busy; not productive, purposeful, focused, or intentional. We are just busy. What does that do for us other than find the very end of the internet while we are at work, or spend hours watching kitty cats make cute videos or some moron bust his face on a stunt. Okay, watching the morons is hard to say no to; but still we literally have all these things going on in our lives, yet we complain we don't have time to do what we really need to. Or better yet our need to list is on the list we are making for things to do.

I am as guilty as everyone else, but I believe I have had a very minute bit of insight.

Life is short, so live it with purpose. If you aren't sure what you are doing than you need to do something else. An example write a blog that no one reads and is much like a Doogie Howser episode ender; it's working for me.

Living life as best I can(most days)
