What Do You Think?

I was very recently asked that question. I almost laughed. They had no idea that I wouldn't know where to start if I really wanted to answer the question. If anything I think too much not too little. Most of what I think would be boring and irrelevant to those who asked the question. I would be exhausted if I put into action even half the things I think about. I think about the past, present and future, I think about the abstract and the practical, I even think about the funny and the foolish. No arena is far from my thoughts. When Marsha and I came to understand each other better she realized that I was always thinking. I could think and while thinking do one other thing but I can not think and do two other things. That made a lot of things more clear for her, and made our time together go much more smoothly. With the other thing besides thinking I try to live in the moment and apply the most practical things I have been thinking especially if I strongly sense the thoughts were inspired by God. I did answer the question and I kept the answer in the same realm as the discussion that was going on. What unimaginable restraint. Sometimes I wish I was a less complex person, but then I remember how much I like the way my life works for me. I'm not saying that a thinker is better. I might have thought that earlier in my life, but Marsha was so different and yet so competent that I came to know that other people are just different not better or worse. I made me think. Oh no here we go again.
