The Documentary was Powerful!

My husband and I were watching a documentary about the terrible dust storms in the midwest in the 1920s and 1930s, the devastation and poverty of the people living in that area were beyond belief.

We are so spoiled in our country we complain over the smallest matters and feel no sense of shame over our ungratefulness.

I believe the lack of empathy, kindness, and entitlement mentality extends to everything in our lives. Our culture is Spiritually and emotionally bankrupt without the ability to be grateful. This is the reason we see so much silly drama about nothing important.

Feelings get hurt over the silliest and most ridiculous things as though they are of any importance. The absurdity of making feelings more important than facts has caused people to resist any discussion over problems to resolve them.

Since "feelings" have become sacred and rational reasonable discussion has become embarrassing and to be avoided, problems are not really problems except in the minds of those who have elevated their own feelings to the level l of a god, an idol in their own mind to be worshiped.

Since feelings take priority over reality we have many people who are messaging their feelings without regard to finding out the truth or understanding another person. These unseen gods of feelings can never be evaluated or inspected for truthfulness.

anyone who attempts to get to the bottom of a problem will be seen as mean-spirited, ignored and mocked because they dare to think rationally and reasonably.

1 Corinthians 2:16 l

“For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

Romans 12:2

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."

When we think with the mind of Christ we will not be overly sensitive about criticism or correction, in fact it will serve us well as we grow in holiness.
