Simple

Posted by Kenny Hyder in PostmodernThinking

My wife said something the other day that I think was brilliant.

She said: “I’m tired of all these people that pretend to have super deep relationships with God when they don’t.”

The point being, what is so wrong or immature with a simple relationship? Why are so many people wrapped up in being complex about a subject, when there is no requirement to do so? Can’t I just be myself and do my thing? Is there no honor in that? The last time I checked, all the guys in the Bible spent years and years doing the simple thing without any extreme unction to go from zero to extraordinary in 5 minutes.

A guy I like to listen to said: “We are into microwaving, God is into marinating”; I find that’s mostly true, the things in life that I stop trying to control are the things that I usually find out that later come to fruition in me.
