That was classic—“I miss the miracle managing the minutiae.” I love that—very true—most people get so caught up in the hustle & bustle they tend to forget the miracle of just being present & alive. There are often times where I see someone who’s struggling with their health, whether they’re not walking good, on oxygen, etc. & I think that’s God’s way of reminding me to quit complaining and be thankful for my health. And I am thankful for the insights of other Nutshellians on the back row and am honored to call you my friend, Bryan.
Thanks for the insights. I gotta say it’s kind of like an award to me when you acknowledge some turn of a phrase. I love doing that stuff in the first place so you just made my day and you’re the first person to make a comment about that particular phrasing coming up with these little titties is the highlight of my day and really part of working out my own salvation and fear and trembling
Yeah, a bit of the serenity prayer in there. I tend to repeat that prayer. Then hints of dust in the wind forward the end. Why is it that every time we make a concerted effort to be better we tend to fall flat on our faces. Then its about asking for forgiveness and starting over.
And that’s why I started a back row for believers like you and I lol and I kind of got a kick out of having that visual of doing pirouettes down the straight and narrow. I probably laughed at that for five or 10 minutes.

I like Father God. It’s giving Him glory and praise.
