Thanks Red, but had you read the novel of my life, you would realize that I can't even pretend to be cocky! Way too many "What the F was I thinking" episodes. Regardless of my religious thoughts, I have to admit that someone or something has been more than forgiving and has made my life blessed in more ways than I can even begin to believe I earned.
You've got me rambling, now, Red. At times I feel that when when people speak of Heaven there is nothing that could be changed in this life to make it better. Sure, more of something? That's there if you really want it. Better communication with your concept of a higher power? I think that's there if you desire. Less violence and hate? We have that to strive for...the desire to strive and improvements are better than simply having something. Working towards something and making small steps is far more gratifying than being handed anything. Failures and despair? Simply tests and reasons to continue to try. Witnessing all levels of our emotional capability at times is learning......and, speaking only for myself.....the true joy in life is learning.
Anyway, my friend, I got to rambling. Another example of "What the F was I thinking?"
