Life or Death can be found in Anything...

Okay, so it's time to give a bit more of an explanation. You see, I'm one of those unfortunate people who can't leave things alone and simply analyzes things TO DEATH. I think through situations and come at them at all possible angles to figure out what could possibly happen so I'll know exactly how to react. Rantings of a control freak, right?

Well, I'm finding that in the things I participate in my life, they either lead to life or death. Physically, I can go out and drive my car at insane speeds and ram it into a tree (don't you ever feel like doing that some days?). That leads to death.

Other days, I go outside and take a walk to excercise, or I decide to eat vegetables from my garden or something silly like that. That ultimately leads to life. Healthy life.

Well, I'm finding that it's the same thing in my spiritual life. I can do things that bring me spiritual life or spiritual death. And sadly enough, I find myself choosing the spiritual death more often. Like the Apostle Paul of the Bible mentioned, I do the things I don't want to do and I don't do the things I want to.

Take tonight for instance - I don't want to talk about any of my friends business because I don't want them talking about my failures and pains - a common courtesy thing, you konw? Don't kick a dog while it's done kind of thing. And yet I saw someone and started talking about the latest failed marriage. I don't want to spread those people's misfortune around to others - they have enough to deal with right now without me going on about it. But I did it anyway. I still can't quite figure out my motivation other than it was my evil twin. *sigh*

So what remedies that? That's what I've been trying to figure out. I know spending time in God's presence will change that - I can't change anything on my own - only He can. But that still doesn't make it any easier, you know?

That's where the title comes from. I'm spotting life, so to speak, and sharing it with everyone else. If you see life in what I'm saying, tell me. If you see death, tell me. I need all the help I can get! :)
