Mark and I are on the same page this morning. Often the answer or the path is pretty straightforward but we don't like where it leads so we start putting obstacles and diversions in the way. That doesn't really change the ultimate destination or solution, but it does often delay things and sometimes makes them worse. Sometimes the simple solution is just that. What in your life can be simplified? Is it your surroundings? A relationship? The way you manage your finances? Take simplicity where you can get it.

Good morning Mikel and all of my friends on RallyPoint! Whenever I hear how complicated life is, I remember the quote from Walden.
“Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden
If we could only remember that life is often complicated because we make it so. Have a great day all!

LTC Stephen C.
Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen, my work took me frequently to the Boston area for about two years, so I made two visits to the Lexington-Concord-Walden area. The whole area is steeped in history and is pleasing to the eye.

LTC Stephen C. I grew up in Connecticut so almost took a lot of the areas history for granted. My wife is from California, so when we got stationed in New Hampshire she made sure we hit all those historical spots. Got me to appreciate them all over again.

Good evening my friend and brother-in-Christ SGT (Join to see).
Heavenly Father, YOU desire open fellowship and relationship with each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters throughout our life. YOU designed everything perfectly – what is complex is intricate in design and yet works perfectly together and symbiotically in many cases. YOU are more complex than we could imagine and yet YOUR love, compassion, justice, grace and mercy is cleansing, pure and simple.
I pray that YOU help each of us to be straightforward and honest. Give each wisdom and grace to explain the complex in simple terms so that it can be understood by a child. Help each to be more childlike and less childish.
Help us to view life in a childlike manner and to be filled with wonder and joy as we behold all that YOU do for us - from sunrises and sunsets to autumn colors and the selfless love between family members and friends.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
