Wondering about my Wanderings

Is it fair?

I still do not know now this blog world works. I had an intimate and profound blog that was erased after I shut down the computer. It was all about trying to sort out what is fair.

In the eyes of my brother Craig his team (the Patriots) can not be a cheater. Yet in the world of sports, which is anything but Christian or even theological, winning seems to be so important. Who is the cheater? I wonder if the team that loses is ever called a cheater. I guess it doesn't matter for those folks.

I went to a minister meeting that gave me pause to think. It was a meeting that I was called to be a part of by my church. I loved the part of the meeting that alluded to acculturation in the persons of the Burmese in an English speaking church and spiritual formation by a church in conflict. I did not like looking at my ex with my grandkids on the other side of the table. After all I, I hardly see them at all. That is mostly because of many hours I work to pay bills. One of the grandkids was screaming and I felt the need to help. I was turned aside and the kids were quiet for the remainder of the two hours. Is God trying to tell me something?

I go to work and a coworker has back spasms and can not do his job. I am delegated to do a very unpleasant task that he can not perform because of his ailment. By the end of the shift I am exhausted and I wish him well. I really and truly meant it.

Most recently my wife has been helping my exes sister. Lately she has been having a rough time. I am glad for the caring concern of my wife for her. At the same time I wonder when we find to celebrate our anniversary which is only yesterday. I am learning God has a different eye for what is fair than I do. I pray that you are finding justice for yourself.

God Bless
