What color






You have been told your whole life that this is blue.  Your parents told you, your pastor told you, your friends told you.  It has been completely ingrained in your life that this is blue.

You fall in line and drink the koolaid.  Even though some of it doesn't add up to you, you don't ask questions.  Don't rock the boat.  Be a good Christian.  Read the bible, go to church, give 10% and say your prayers.  The world is this particular way.

Now the years have gone by and you are hearing new ideas.  Maybe this isn't blue.  Maybe my pastor was just trying to protect traditions from the past.  Maybe my parents did not want me to make waves.  Maybe no one had the guts to challenge the status quo.  Maybe there is more Hiratio, than was dreampt of in your philosophies.

Some of the things that we were taught as children are not true.  Green is not always blue.  Don't throw away a new idea simply because it causes you to swim upstream.  In fact, real learning never takes place until we take the plunge and go against the current.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
