Roof open, windows down, music pumping... yes, spring is here! 63 degrees with the sun beating down on my face through the open sunroof is a definite sign of its arrival. Of course it will get colder again before it gets warmer, but who cares... today it's glorious!
A little bit of a rant here. Sorry to you HR folks that like these, but one of my SERIOUS pet peeves are those preachy HR classes on "handling stress" or "focusing" or whatnot. I spent two hours in one today hearing about how to "quiet my mind." As soon as I heard the inevitable reference to Deepak Chopra I tuned out completely. As she was going on about meditating or "whatever technique works for you," Hebrews 4:12 came to mind so I did a little meditating of my own... a picture of a double-edged sword cutting through the crap was foremost in my thoughts! It's funny, we were just talking in Bible study Tuesday night out of Ephesians 4:20-24 about how it's futile to try and change your behavior on your own, and it benefits you nothing. You don't have to go far to hear someone extolling the empty virtues of the "power of positive thinking" (also quoted today). Not knowing God's forgiveness is designed to make you stressed until you surrender to His perfect peace, and no "control of your thought life" is going to change that!
Ahh... That feels better!
