I've been thinking about something Ben said in his sermon on Sunday. He was talking about how people need to let go of their "rights to answers". Think about all of the "why's" that stall us along the road of life. We pull off on the side waiting for...demanding...the answers, and meanwhile so much of life (and destiny) is passing by.
I'm not saying that wrestling with issues is bad at all. It's a great challenge to step into the questions that can bring out our best. BUT...at some point we step out of adventure and into obsession. That excessive focus can start to skew how we see the world around us. The "right" clouds our view...
I'm also not saying that grief in inappropriate. True grief is key!!!...the final step being "acceptance" of the mystery. The right to answers, though, keeps us in denial or anger...not allowing peace to come our way. Letting go...
So...hmm...looking back and remembering...but also taking a moment to consider if I have any stalled places today...
