If it is world globe we&#8217;re looking at, then we see all kinds of scribbly lines all over the place that we decided to call, &#8220;borders.&#8221; They have a border over there that we shouldn&#8217;t cross and everywhere we look there are more borders taking up all the geographic space of a world that God created; for all of us. Here&#8217;s the rub. God created the world for human beings. When we look around we see a whole lot of human beings. To add to our confusion, human beings from different regions look different than human beings from other regions. Add to this that they speak different languages or have different accents for the same language plus have different loves or hostilities and we have millions who are not in their right minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talk about being set up for failure! How in the hell do we all, &#8220;just get along,&#8221; when we all speak different tongues and think in different ways. Hey, does this lead us back to the &#8220;Tower of Babel?&#8221; You know, when mankind got so full of himself that God made us all speak different languages so that one person didn&#8217;t know what the other person was doing? Odd, isn&#8217;t it, the way the bible points out things we don&#8217;t consider when being politically minded and &#8220;just try to get along?&#8221; Try?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Isn&#8217;t this exactly why we can&#8217;t do anything right that lasts longer than one year? Everyone speaking with a different tongue with different cultures and different morals. What an &#8220;F&#8217;ing mess!&#8221; Fing- a word that describes human culture or the lack thereof and describes the dead end of optimism as we live our short lives and die off about the time we see things for what they really are. Or. it could be just that war left me a little sideways. You know, the way you have to turn in a narrow space just to get outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fact that I don&#8217;t know a blessed thing other than the bible is where I usually stake my territory. Humanity as a whole, hole?, seems bent on creative destruction as new ways of killing other humans are lauded throughout history. First the rock, then the sling to propel the rock in a deadly manner, then the bow and arrow, supposedly for hunting game but quickly found to be wonderful for killing humans, then . . . <strong><em>the atom bomb.<\/em><\/strong> Did I leave anything out? Yeah, you know the list don&#8217;t you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If this world confuses you try figuring out how to find world peace that lasts forever. Can&#8217;t find a way? This is why I believe so firmly in the bible as God&#8217;s word.<\/p>\n<p>Views: 33<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Nobody in Their Right Mind&#8221; OK, if you are attending my prattle you are at least dedicated to finding your &#8220;Right Mind.&#8221; However, when we look out at the world what do&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":42,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,2,13,14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-accusations","category-barn-door","category-of-ages","category-right"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/xogzap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/xogzap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/xogzap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xogzap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xogzap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=518"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/xogzap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":520,"href":"https:\/\/xogzap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518\/revisions\/520"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xogzap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/xogzap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xogzap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xogzap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
