The Simple Life?

Great commentary. Choosing to be stupid

I realized that simple living can be crystallized, distilled, condensed and reduced down to three words. Three profound, easy-to-remember words. Got a pen and paper? OK, here they are:

Make good choices.

That's it. Almost everything in life – the good, the bad and the ugly – can be reduced to the choices you make.

If only there was a way to get kids to understand this concept before it's too late. But, it's even helpful later in life to help get you out of a bad situation.

This is actually a biblical concept and goes completely against the 'anything goes' attitude of the liberal mindset. God even tells us what kind of behavior will hurt us and warns us not to make those choices. Not surprisingly, people think they know better, make a miserable mess of their lives, then either blame God or claim He can't possibly exist because of how horrible we've made our own lives. And no one lives in a vacuum. What you choose to do effects others, even if you can't see the connection. It's there. But of course, God leaves you free to make your own decisions - and everyone else, too. Crime, sickness, war - all symptoms of our collective choices.

The choices we make are more important than we give them credit for.
