    "Society is at its best when it can be stirred to tears instead of anger.  When we hear things that touch our hearts, we naturally want others to hear …for their hearts to be touched in equal measure.  But often they don't hear it the way we hear it.  They know the language, but do not hear the beauty of what is spoken.  For beauty to be expressed, it must be first experienced and shared …or it will simply not be recognized as beauty.  It must also be taught.  Something that is so full of beauty is also full of meaning.  And that is where it has to be experienced.  As the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.  To experience, we must first drink of it.   That also has literal truth, which in some cases is troublesome at best.  I am referring to the drunken state that some tend to frequent.  So, we can drink of, or experience …the good and the bad.  But when speaking of good, when it is so good that we can barely draw a breath to it, to speak of it would merely draw breath away from it.   I am not speaking of speaking in tongues.  Adding my voice merely creates the deception of fathoming that I could ever even be a part of any of His majesty.  For in thinking I own a part, actually brings me apart.  He has bought me a part of His glory through His Son …which I can only partake in through accepting and representing the truth of who He is, glorifying Him.  There is nothing new about it.  But what we often cling to is what we view as nothing new …which usually is not that old, it's just old to each of us, through our brief lifespan.  People cling to traditions, and to that which is common, which is not common at all, but often well-devised deceptions to draw away from the common truths …which in simplicity are spectacular.  The complexities of our own practiced deceptions appear to hold their own simplicities, yet are simply wrong.  Yet, one of the biggest conflicts arises when we must decide our differences and decide who is the authority in deciding what is best.  There exists a grand distortion of self-proclaimed elite-ism which challenges the very Spirit of God's leading.   The apostle Peter needed to resolve that issue, and the apostle Paul had to also overcome those doubts brought forth concerning his authority.  The other issue lies in the consistency of the approach we take.  Most of the trouble does not arise from God not giving us clear direction …that would require more prayer and patience.  We often create more trouble in claiming that God has directed us to do something. It is so easy to misinterpret our desires for a more lofty claim.   That which is common to us breeds familiarity …the ground that most of us like to stand on.  The temptation and danger with venturing out beyond familiarity to face challenges, brings about some positive growth, though sadly often is short-lived.  Lying in wait is the thrill of placing ourselves in the seat of discovery, not just to discover what is to be discovered, but to discover reasons and creations of things that don't even exist, or which hold no value of truth."
