Patience is not a virtue of mine
But God tells me He’s got me each time
So I look to my Jesus to save me
Knowing God doesn’t hand out maybes
And I know that I’ll turn out fine
But patience is not a virtue of mine

Oedipus Rex: Are Fate and Free Will Mutually Exclusive?
***I am not always the best at keeping things in a straight line, but I have done my best here. These are my thoughts today when I was thinking about fate, destiny, action, and free will. I am not an authoritarian on anything, but this is rather the truth as I see it and what I believe God has shown me.***This is something I wrote in one of my FB notes***
The paradox that is presented by foreknowledge and free will is one that would seem to be a nice contradiction to the idea of prophecy and free will or an All Knowing God and free will. Determinism vs. free will seems to always take into account that because something CAN be, it SHOULD be. For example, if God said to me that I was going die in a car accident on Tuesday, my human nature would tell me to avoid getting into a car on Tuesday. More than that, I could even take it a step further and opt not to leave the house at all on Tuesday. After all, I could be in a car accident where a car hits me as I am walking down the road right? Yet even if either or other alternatives are good alternatives that may prevent the foretold death, does it mean I should take those routes?

A moment can define a life
Time changes everything
Fades into the darkness
Surrounds me.

Conspiring Mind
I could be a conspiracy theorist. I think too much. I analyze too much. And I could convince an Eskimo that he not only needs a refrigerator, but a deep freezer to go with it. I can believe. I can make others believe.
No, I’m not saying I have any power over anyone. Other than the power of manipulation. Not manipulation in the ill sense of the word; just in the sense that if I want you to believe my point or in the very least leave thinking I may be right, I can.

Picture Perfect
Picture this: you have a son or a daughter and they are your miracle child; the doctors said you could not have children, but low and behold, here they are. They are perfect and no one will ever tell you otherwise. God gave you this gift and you will treasure it. You make sure this child is well-provided for, is safe, is loved, and is afforded all the things in life that they desire and can be given. Such is parenthood.

I Ponder
Are we so arrogant that we have to believe that ‘truth’ is ‘relative’ rather than ‘inherent?’ We are egocentric enough to create a hegemony that ensures our rights are protected and yet selfless enough to succumb to ‘relative truth.’

I hesitate to meditate
And ponder who I am.
I’d lose my mind just to find
I’m just another scam.
One life to live, yet to give
A special part of me.
I live to die, not to cry
For love that will not be.
Lost in thought, all distraught,
Running from myself.
I can’t decide; who am I–
I cannot answer well.
Got to know, got to go,
No, stand and hold my ground.
Guard my thoughts, must be lost,
I can’t go another round.
Thoughts unwind, not to bind
Feelings about you.
Stupid stress, but I digress;
What’s a girl to do?
Can’t fight the right, not tonight,
When all I want is you.
One night to try, never lie,
To you I’m always true.
