To Plan or NOT To Plan

[DeanZF]

Ah, but Dave, dear Dave, "but you'd think" implies logic & reason, but we're not dealing with logical or reasoned arguements! We're dealing with unreasonable and emotional issues that are usually simply repeated after being heard from some source that seems to be speaking from a position of authority or knowledge!



You said framework is key. That's it in a nutshell. It is NOT a box, as some would try to label it, but rather a framework on which all sorts of things can be hung.



And then even if it WERE a "box", I think of so many kids (myself included) who were the glad recipients of a huge big corrugated box from a refrigerator or freezer or similar large object and the enormous amount of glee and amusement that ensued using the box for a play house, a seagoing ship, a big truck, a play-office, and one of my favorites--a tank! Once the box had been played to within an inch of its life and the corrugated was no longer capable of being rigid, we'd get two or three or four kids on hands and knees all making some sort of kiddie engine noises and we'd all crawl in the same direction inside the box. It would roll over small hills and rocks and valleys, just like a track-driven tank. GREAT fun.



Isn't it a great thing when we can actually use our worship or praise music and times to whoop and holler in His presence and just have a great time enjoying Him? And enjoying ourselves IN Him?? Oh, for a framework and permission! noopy:
