Math or Art?

Do you have a friend whom one day just appeared and - BLAM!!!!!, they were there and you were instant friends?  I do, his name is Kim and many a long antique show hour has been passed in laughter with him and his brother Rick!  Well, for me at least.
```
Before surgery, he sent a copy of a book his daughter had given him - The Art of Being You.  It looks at life from the standpoint of God being an artist, in His creation of the finalized you.

It was an interesting idea: God's goal a finished me, a work of art ....... hmmmmm!

Of course it revolves around math: rules and regulations which impede works of art .....
Everything is goal oriented - you either achieve or fail.
Which is NOT how God works at all!
It is how this performance based culture works.
It is how paganism (the 'modern' church of our age) works.
It is how SATAN works - using our failures to beat us up.

and I get pounded regularly by those who believe God calls us to perfection ...

Written by Bob Kilpatrick ... and who is he?!?!?!?
You see I know the name, I know some of what was in the book, but not his son - so it had to have been a very long time ago! Ah the joys of amnesia!

Well, a keeper, thank you Kim!
And Lord willing I will be up walking and ready to laugh my way through the next show!
