Knee-Time

I have been doing a lot of rewriting this week. That is, I sit at the computer and stare at a screen full of words and wonder how to rearrange them into what the producers want.

It is hard to reach into some else’s mind and pull out what is there, visualize their ideas. It is equally difficult to revise a story that has been thought out and put in writing. When you pull one thread, the entire garment seems to come apart then it has to be mended. I also suffer from the inability to disappoint those who are counting on me to produce some written images they can translate to visual images. ARGH! Sorry, did not mean to shout.

Funny, I recently read or heard it expressed that the irony of humanity is that we care more about pleasing our fellow human beings who can exercise very little control over our lives than we do in pleasing the God who created us and has complete control over our destinies. Well, guilty as charged. I stress far too much about what others might think or say concerning my actions and words. I think far too little about what God thinks.

Time for a little knee-time.

Today, for my own personal reasons, is a day when I considered the bigger picture. I will try to take into account more the One who can actually affect the direction of my life as opposed to the little ones who might, for a short period, intersect their lives with mine.
