Sharp Knives, Dull Moments! Don't Take Life Granite!!

"DON"T TAKE LIFE FOR GRANITE"! “Sharp Knives, Dull Moments! Diversity in Adversity!” Don't life for granite.  What?  Well, today, I had my mind on someone that died and was thinking about my life. All the while trying to put out fires around here and dealing with feeling very ill. No complaints, though. There's always something to gain from pain. So, anyways, back to the story for today. So. there’s never a dull moment around here! Just dull knifes! On the other hand, there’s never a sharp knife, just sharp moments! And, sharp dressers! What? It could be worded like this if you were from England: there’s never a bloody painfully cutting knife when you need one, just bloody painfully cutting moments. And, who needs those? Right? But, it’s all in the way you look at things. Me? I like to look at the humorous, shiny side of the knife. We do gain from those moments, though! We do, we do! As I already quoted Horace in an earlier post: “Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents, which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant." May I just say that we have diverse elicit talents from our adversity. We def gain from our pain. That cuts like a knife. Wounds heal and we again find zeal…for life. Our scars remind us to go ahead and hope. Sounds like our new song again. Hope I get better soon to finish it. And, I hope you have a sharp day. Our God is a sharp God whose ways never dull my mind or spirit. Always keep me thinking. Oh! And, yes! Our cutting board is a granite guitar made by a dear friend of ours, Steve, who we shall see again one day. Yes! A granite guitar. Reminds is "don't take life for granite". Each day is a chance to cook. So, make it a sharp day! Chop chop. We all find ourselves on the cutting board sometimes. We have to always be practicing our bloody chops, you know! To keep it sharp. We don't want to dull our spirit nor our talent. Whether it's cooking with food or cooking with music or cooking at whatever you do! Chop chop! Let’s see those elicit talents come out. One last thing? Don't take life for granite! Everything is not all written in stone. But, one this is for sure. One stone has been rolled away!!! Don't take that for granite either! See the truth and the humor in all...   Trace
