We've been too prosperous, too coddled, to comfortable, and now we're fat and lazy. Even the super skinny model types. Just because you're skinny doesn't mean you're not fat and lazy. You ever heard of someone being called a 'fathead'? Well, you don't think of a person with a literally fat head, do you? I must say that if you do, you're probably a fathead. (oooo I feel a bout of Jeff Foxworthy coming on.....you might be a fathead if you think the government is here to help you. OK, it's over.)It's not just you, it's me too. I thought of myself as 'poor' when we were growing up. I have pictures where I have the same pair of shorts on from sixth grade through tenth grade. Safety pins were a wardrobe accessory in my world. I was poor, just didn't realize that it was poor in spiritual guidance. I'm sure if someone were to tell me that then, I would have looked at them like they were from another planet. Sort of like people look at me now when I tell them they are being lied to by not only their government, but by their supposed 'church'. Most however, do not want you to shine any light upon their crooked path, because then they would be required to change something about themselves. The reality is though, that even though; in a literal sense, they could change, they really couldn't change without God's inspiring grace. This is so in order that they are responsible for their actions, and yet God is in control of their actions. Thus, fatheads are unable to see, tending toward trampling the pearls under their feet. Like walking on marbles, the pearls cause their feet fly out from underneath them, and they fall with a thud.
It's all been about gaining comfort, and feeding the flesh. We, as a society, are now really good at it, and we will not..... cannot..... and won't......do anything about it until it all comes crashing down like a house of cards.
I'm just as bad, actually, worse, because I've been given light to see, and I'm moving in slow-mo
What a fathead.
