Has common sense not only left the building, but the Earth too? Have you found it to be a scarce commodity too? I read that it's so rare these days that it should be considered a superpower.
Last night after church, we went to Tutti Fruitti to get my frozen yogurt fix. [The coffee flavor is to die for..yum] Anyways, it is in a strip mall along with a fitness gym. As we drove past the gym, there were two ladies out there smoking after their workout. Seriously? Are you gasping for air from the workout or from the toxic fumes you're purposefully inhaling? I'd bet on the smoke killing them faster than the fat. I wonder if I am the look they are going for, skinny with a mask? I don't recommend it.
Another common sense question I personally get is 'does that go backwards?' If I had a dollar for everytime I've driven my scooter on an elevator and been asked that..lol. Of course I'm polite and say yes.
What I'm thinking tho is 'no, I'm gonna ride up and down for hours and wait for a miracle to get me out of here.' Aren't you glad I don't say everything I think? lol
The folks with the least amount of common sense are those who say there is no God. Even the devil knows that God exists. His evidence surrounds us. There is no where you can go without proof that He exists and created what's in front of you. Psalm 89:8 ''Who is like you, LORD God Almighty? You, LORD, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.''
Love the pithy humor in this and the way you work it around to the ultimate truth! I wish (and pray) for your health to improve. But clearly, what you lack in health, you have made up for abundantly in faith, humor, insight, and tenacity. You are a blessing.

Ditto, Cathie! LOVE your sense of humor!! It is amazing what you see people do. When James' dad was dying of cancer over 25 years ago, people were still allowed to smoke in the hospital waiting rooms. You cannot imagine how many family members were puffing away there in the cancer ward while their loved one was dying with cancer. They should have just gone ahead and reserved their rooms for future use. Unbelievable!! Your analogy is again right on...and just as Cathie said....led perfectly to the ultimate truth. Love you, T,
ReplyDeleteCommon sense takes the excitement out of life, Angie! What would we do without troubles of our own making? Thanks for your thoughts this morning. Have a great day. Joel
ReplyDeleteExactly! Common sense is the 6th sense. Most people have the first 5, but I think you are right that this one seems to be vanishing. I love me some good common sense! Great tie-in with the scripture, too.
