I’ve been a fan of Regina Brett for a long time now. I love her 50 Lessons from God Never Blinks. I love all the 50 lessons even though I do think God does blink. He, along with the rest of us, are human after all. That’s what I believe. We can’t be awake, alert and vigilant, unblinking 24/7. We all need some shut eye, even God. Here’s my take on some of the 50 lessons.

I do believe that life isn’t fair, but it is still good.

When I am in doubt, I move a little slower. Life is too short but I am human enough to hate someone sometimes. I try to cut it short though.

It’s hard not to take myself seriously. I am a serious person. I do know that my voice does not carry much weight with others. So I do need to take myself seriously.

I am very good at paying off my credit card every month. I do forget some months. That’s the human in me.

I don’t argue very much since my voice lacks weight. I just try to listen and not say much.

I seldom cry alone, never mind cry with someone. That’ll be another lesson for me to learn.

Yes, I get angry. I’m sure I’ve been angry with God. He’s not exempt from my wrath. Anger is very cathartic for me. It releases pent up anxiety and other bad energy. It helps me to rant about the worse case scenerio. And that could be: The sky is falling smothering us all. Or the earth can open up and swallow us up. In both cases, life ceases, pain ceases. End of problems. When I see that, somehow I feel calmer and can see clearer. I think, so what’s the problem here? God never promised us a rose garden or life forever.

Well, that’s enough ranting for one day. Maybe to be continued tomorrow.
