The sign along the highway proclaimed a Bible verse something about Jesus and rest or another about Jesus and peace.
I wondered what message whoever erected that sign wished to convey. I wonder where you go to just find rest and peace.
Do we join a church and get uptight about many things? Do we get trapped in an endless circle of meetings and busyness? Do we worry about having the correct theology?
Or, did they point to a place where you walk in and people accept you and are there for you when you need someone to listen or a meal when times are tough? Is it like “Cheers” where everybody knows your name—“Hi Norm!”
Or, I wonder why when I see a sign along the road that I wonder about motivations. Maybe just accept the thought and move on. Follow my own advice about people who think too much..
Just accept the fact that following what Jesus told us will lead to a more peaceful and restful life.
Or, I could wonder why I had a series of dreams last night that started with trying to get certain tones from musical instruments, capturing the waveform, going through analog to digital, doing a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), finding the fifth harmonic, and solving a complex manufacturing problem. Probably just random neurons firing. But I wish it had told me exactly what problem was being solved and the algorithm that came from analyzing that harmonic!
See, I type a sentence to start these posts and never know where I’ll wind up.
