So I flew home from our yearly summit last night/this morning.
Good news, I am not sick and even better news is that I am not in a tail spin.
I did get to have a great conversation on the plane from Phoenix. As we all know I have struggles with religion. I was able to share this with someone who was opened minded. I have known Woodley since I first started at my job. He is very open minded and just has a good soul. So I was telling him about how I feel as though God tests me and if I don't make the right decision that bad things will happen. He didn't agree and thought that shitty things happen for no reason. When I get tested with an over credit or items that I am not charged for that some people would look at it as God giving them a gift. Such a great perspective but I know in my heart that isn't the right thing.
It all just reminds me that sometimes I just need to get out of my head.
Being creatures possessed with "free will" we are constantly being challenged to make choices. I have a little voice inside me that usually talks to me when faced with a choice to do this or that. That same voice can give me all sorts of rationale to do something I know in my heart is wrong. If I just trust my own gut I can usually figure out what is right or wrong. Religion really doesn't have anything to do with it. Religion is a concept created by man. I can have a relationship with God with or without participating in an organized religion.
