Have you ever locked your keys inside your car? Mailed an envelope without putting the payment check inside? Baked a recipe without adding one of the main ingredients?
These are the kinds of things we all do when we don't give careful thought to what we are doing. Careless thinking means we either do something we shouldn't do or fail to do something we should. These wrong actions or irresponsible inactions can be minor inconveniences-or they can have serious lasting consequences.
You would think the people in Haggai's day wouldn't have committed thoughtless mistakes. Just 20 years before, they were living in exile in Babylon because they had disobeyed God. Now they were back in Jerusalem, but they were living as if that whole exile episode had never happened.
So through the prophet Haggai, God told them, "Consider your ways!" (Haggai 1:7). Then He told them their mistake: They were living selfish lives of luxury instead of completing God's temple. Careless thinking had led to wrong decisions and inaction.
God wants us to give careful thought to our actions, words, and relationships, and make decisions that bring glory to Him. Whatever you do today, give it careful thought. -Dave Branon
Keep your thoughts in line, or they'll lead you astray.

And Morning Glory to you CT! Did you listen to Hugh's piece on Dan Un-Rathers "respectful" interview of Saddam Hussein (with "I'm Your Puppet" playing in the background)? Hilarious!
Anyway, great read today and hats off to these brave woman.
To shift captain Joy Shaw, it seemed that "everybody [was] following the Mongolian General Prudential Rule: 'When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout!'"
I tried to get more info on where this expression came from and why the title. Not much available. Is it synonymous with "organized like a Chinese Fire drill"? Or perhaps what the Marine's refer to as a "cluster f_ _ _?
I did find what's known as:
The General Prudential Rule
If exceptional parents hear anything in the course of their tribulations it's "that's against the rules," "the rules don't allow that," and "we can't because of the rules." Those sentences-or variations of them-all translate into denial or rejection of services, therapy, equipment, programs, or placements. It's not unusual for the "rulers" to hide behind the rules, regulations, and rulings. School officials, insurance company clerks, health maintenance organizations, and government agencies are used to refusing both services and access to people and families with developmental disabilities.
But I don't see the connection with a "Mongolian General"? As you can see I'm confused and appeal to the wise to educate me.
Good Evening Foxhole,
Your thread made my two hours in the dentist's chair a little bit easier to recover from. Most history courses spend more time describing the tasks of the industrial women of WW2, without saying much about the war women of WW2.
Good morning, Foxhole!
Thanks for the read this morning - how you manage to keep coming up with such interesting subjects is a wonder to me. I appreciate the welcome break I get each day!
Hope you're off to a great start today!
