Doesn’t matter if you posted them to me or not.

This is an open forum and if you post a comment on it, then ANYONE is free to respond..

And this post isn’t any better and it’s not got a thing to do with joy that surpasses all understanding or that you have some spiritual insight that others don’t have.

It’s just downright incoherent.

The vast majority of us are linear thinkers.

Others out there have a random access memory bank at their beck and call.

I've never had an issue with that obvious set-up at all. But that doesn't mean I'm going to intentionally ping people who are going to get agitated over uplifting themes and/or seemingly unimportant data, or read things into a post, or even suspect that I'm on something, or who just don't take kindly to joyful, positive commments that aren't coming from the business-as-usual model. I just post what I see. I don't even expect replies.

Well, I was responding specifically to you because of your question to me, asking if I were on something.

Joseph must have been "on" something, because you can't keep a good man down. He thought to relay his dreams, and ended up in Egypt!

"Incoherent" is a relative term. I don't speak or understand French, so if somebody came up to me trying to have a conversation in French, his words would be incoherent to me. Those who know French would know what he was saying just fine. It would be pretty weird if the French-comprehending people were denigrated by the non-French-comprehending people for having some kind of insight that they lacked.

After all, if they wanted to know what was being said, they could start learning French. Baby steps. (I watched What About Bob last night.)

As for pure simple joy and fun, they seem to be alien concepts to more than a few folks. If it weren't for negative waves, those poor people would make no waves at all.

Personally, I think the God of Abraham is just the best. The bee's knees. Of all the facts that He decided were worth inclusion in His Book - and that it's a pretty small book considering - He thought it was important for everyone to know for example, that...

1 Samuel 25:18 Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.

Not three bottles of wine mind you, just two. Five sheep, and not six or seven. He even tossed in a word of French.

Really, who would gravitate to a fellow like that? Sounds like some kind of OCD data junkie, yikes.

Because the next thing you know, He'd be the type to pull out His wallet with the 1000 photos of the grandkids, and start describing how this one has twelve sons and these are the names...

It's all quite funny!
