Glory..

 Most things glory are silently unglorious.  I think glory is often misunderstood.


Like in Superstar, Jesus says power and glory are hard to grasp.


There are miraculous shiny events.  Yet much is quiet.  It's getting things done.


It's working hard, the mechanics of accomplishment that may be a precursor to a grand event.  Or simply pushing ahead.


I'd hold the kids when they were scared or hurt.  I rarely said it would be alright or ok.  I'd work through the pain and restore security.  That's ok.


It's not poof and all is well.  It's that steady love and assurance we'd hold on.


The sands are fast drifting out through the hole to the mound of yesterdays.


Soon we'll turn the hourglass over and start anew.  


And we'll see what we bring with us.

Solve

 Machinery/tools get dirty.  They need to be cleaned regularly in order to function.  


Corrosion will slowly eat away, destroying, breaking down.  Solvent solves as solution.  


Scrubbing deeply and repeatedly, solvent breaks up the detritus and carries it away.  


Problems corrode if left unsolved.  Some just dwell there, claiming the problems are insoluble.  They say they cannot be washed away.  It is a curious trait of collectivists, wallowing in faults and seeking no solution.  Control laced with false promises string people along.  


Then there are those who expect God to solve things.  Like baby birds, they wait, mouths open, to be fed, empty to full.  Their god is whoever feeds them.


God feeds us with inspiration and the ability to get things done.  God works through us.  


Yes there is a dynamic.  Intervention and maybe not the way we'd think.


But we can clean, oil, solve.

Simple Redux.

 Versus stupid.


Simple was an old timey term for those of low IQ or learning disabled.


Stupid, well an inelegant term for same.


Also, some people who never or rarely learn, as collectivists, etal.  


Simple, as well, means basic, unfettered, to the point.  We can simply cut through the complexity and get to action.


Delaying tactics are primary tools of the collectivists.  Simplicity stops it.


Don't let the enemy project their sins on us.  Don't let them bog us down.  


Simple enough if we do it.

Statue

 And grave.  2 historical points, often starters for research.  They can be important, but there are many which don't officially exist.  


All over the world, people have crossed over, on trails and right where they transitioned.  Known only to a few, they hopefully fulfilled their destinies.


Destiny might be great or small.  Few are the earth shakers, the history makers.  Yet each does in their own way.   Life matters.  Interaction goes on.


Some of us wish to do our work, live our lives to whatever fate awaits and quietly go on.


No statues to gather poopy.  No grave to tend.  


It could be seen as a peculiar form of Freedom.


And though history researched through objects can be important, maybe that interaction while here could be just as well
