So far...Soooo good.

The Lord never sends Moses down to part the seas or anything else just because you have an idea that needs to see its way through. It may be a great idea, and the right thing to do, but that don't mean you can count on any sort of divine intervention. Sometimes quite the opposite.

I am not any sort of biblical scholar. And I do not have a degree in Philosophy.
But I believe that some times; some people are meant to go the hard way. You may indeed be "meant" to do something and yet still see what seems to be a divine hand throwing obstacles in your path. I see it in the people I meet, and also see it in me.
Sometimes.

And when this happens?
What of the person who upon being met with these obstacles, changes course? What does someone like that look like? Is it that haggard man drinking coffee and smoking Pall Mall non filters while staring into space at the end of the counter? I mean really? Because if you truly believe that you are called to do something, what does it feel like to then hit a wall and then decide that you are meant to fail at that very thing? Is that when you "wake up" like they told you to? Or is that when you just give up?

And what if you just stay the course and keep on moving?
Is it all gonna be okay in the end just because I am meant to be here and now?
Possibly no. I suppose one can never know. But I am pretty sure that when it gets hard, it is not a sign from God telling you that "you are as stupid as you look and best give it up now." Even if I am.

I have taken a lot of pictures lately, and many of them were of someone I've seen everywhere lately. The person who gave up only to realize later they did not have to. And it is no one I want to be.

We make wagers all through life.
And all of the different methods of gambling really only produce one absolute.
And that is simply the knowledge that even though we don't know much of anything, we still better get busy doing something.

The train does not stop so that you can get yourself a bit more ready for the trip. And contrary to popular belief, You can NOT just sweat it out at the station while the train leaves you behind. No. Everyone rides or dies.

Hear me Pac?
