Tunnel vision

[vahn]

" There is a principle which is a bar against all information , which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation."
-Herbert Spencer

when I get to thinking I know all there is to know it proves one thing , how little I know , cuz the minute I say I know , that's when all other info gets blocked . what can you say to the person who knows it all . The sad thing of it is that when the tunnel they're looking through is a straw !

Oh , by the way , I am 100% aware of the road our Lord is talking about , so lay off of that one ok ? I'm talking about the Broad Highway that our Lord talks about as well . So how narrow is your mind , oops sorry ! I meant your vision .

Yeah , there's no enemy here is there ? oh not like the one I KNOW , or here I am so well read in scripture I can put God in a box , because I KNOW what He wants , He says things to me exactly the way how I want to hear them .

You know ? My favorite saying on my speaking engagements in AA , that never gives me more enjoyment than to get a roaring laugh out of it and my enjoyment soars even higher when I see their faces drop after realizing what I said is " I KNOW God soo well .. that I can make Him laugh ... the other day I went to Him and told Him I KNOW what His will for me is , and He laughed !!!!

*Amen2* Vahn,

A straw indeed. How sad to know some think they know everything... to what do you aspire to be when you know all there is.

Awesome Final comment, I am sure He enjoys your wit and no nonsense approach as much as we all do here.

Or when you think He wants you to do one thing and it turns out to be something TOTTAAALLLYYY different. Puts me in my place every time.
