(And don't you tell me that's not an option, because I've made my decision. So there.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16536004444668308560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15224520.post-49824405947217300352010-08-22T23:36:10.105-07:002010-08-22T23:36:10.105-07:00.

I actually found it rather refreshing when he admitted to annoyance at not being able to run as fast as those who didn't keep the Word of Wisdom. <br /><br />I like Ecclesiastes too. It helps steer me away from my "now, Now, NOW" mindset. We get our benefits and blessing in due time.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232286196928844543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15224520.post-59564322061470247182010-08-22T20:20:37.856-07:002010-08-22T20:20:37.856-07:00Um, yes.

Hadn't picked up on it before, but it's brilliant, really. You can't really have the one without the other, lest you become either a) a frantic and frustrated perfectionist, or b) a lazy bum who figures it'll all work out in the end so why bother now. Yin and yang and what have you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16536004444668308560noreply@blogger.com
