Thoughts while mowing the yard

Undecided

I was mowing the yard this morning and as usual I was thinking about life and such. There were weeds with pretty little flowers and some cherry trees trying to grow. I just mowed them down because I like the way grass looks better. I thought about God and how he mows down humans that he doesn't like and lets his grass grow (the Israelites) and cuts down the pagan nations, because they gave human sacrifices to please their Gods. Hell, that was my idea he thought, and I'm going to make my son be the human sacrifice later. Oh, hell, seems lika a good idea too so I will keep bunches down there too and never let them die, just sacrifice forever.

He thinks, my yard doesn't look very good so i'm going to dig it all up and make a new earth, and since the sun doesn't shine too well on it I'm going to make a new heaven too.

I think I'm going sort of crazy lately.

That is perhaps one of the coolest illustrations I've ever seen, seriously. I like the way you think. You'd do well in the theocratic ministry school, though. Use of illustration.

I have to mow the lawn today, so guess what I'll be thinking of when I do it.

Isn't it fun to let your mind play with the stuff that's part of our history, and in the end, see it for what it is for the first time? "Crazy," I don't think so. Going back to the Kingdom Hall--now that's CRAZY!

Mowing the grass is such good therapy. I could solve the world's problems while cutting the grass. Out here in the desert we don't have grass - just rocks covering the yards. I think I miss my therapy sessions cutting grass.

.....menemene.......instead of mowing your yard.....move your rocks around.....this will cause you to have some very serious thoughts, i'm sure..

magoo - we do have to rake the rocks occasionally to smooth out footprints. It's just not the same as cutting grass though. :)

Un,

I figured out how to go back and read the older posts of the folks on the board. I have just finished reading several of yours. You seem to be aware of Life around you: you spend a great deal of time observing "stuff" and thinking about all the different inter-actions going on around you. It seems you have all this stuff floating about, however, it does not seem to be arranged in a logical order...you seem to be searching for the the proper pattern to allow it all to make sense.

Am I wrong in my observation?

Vernon, you are right on the money. I don't have the slightest idea of the orgin of the universe or why it's here or what will be the end of it all. The explainations of religious people don't seem to be anymore logical than the atheist. Life is here and I have enjoyed it so much but it's running out soon now for me and I just am not sure what to expect. Like most humans I wish it didn't end but don't know what kind of story to believe about a God and a hereafter. Right now the only thing I have seen is death ends it all. The human mind can't conceive of something not having a beginning but everything we see has an end.

Lately I can't seem to get really interested in things like I did most of my life, a sort of depression I guess. I'm doing my best to cope with it.

Well, on a similar but different note, whenever I am planting anything in the garden, thoughts on things apostle Paul (who I disagree with a lot) run thru my mind.....about sowing. (1 Cor. 15:42-49) He was talking about the resurrection (heavenly) and how the dead are sown in corruption and raised in incorruption, etc. It makes me think that everything is sown (planted) for it to have life. The man plants a seed into the woman, and a new life is formed. You bury seed into the ground, and life comes up (grass, plants, flowers, etc.) So maybe, for those of you who still believe in resurrection of some kind, we all have to die before we have life again, in some form, which might be "pushing up daisies."

Sorry, I just had to end on a light note!
