Hi Gino, John and Doves,

Gino - your post linked below. I have often struggled with this one. Because I find most people do not want to talk about the reality of what is going on in our world. They would rather ignore it in the hope that it will pass. Thus, I find myself an outsider in most social situations. I can only do the 'cocktail party, small talk, chit chat' for so long. It's all so meaningless and dull. Then I ask myself if I am somehow addicted to dramatic end time prophecy and if it is me who is the odd one. We humans are very prone to doubting ourselves and our motives. I pray for clarity and truth all the time, because it is a very difficult and lonely position to be in. Waiting upon the LORD. However, I am of earthly good too. I love and care for my family and friends. I care about our animals and pets. Our faith is a precious blessing and I have no choice but to be heavenly minded. I could not change this, even if I wanted to. Almighty God is imbedded in everything I think and do. I am so very grateful for this incredible blessing.

Thank you so much for bringing this subject to the fore. It has made me analyse it properly instead of having it niggle at the back of my mind.

too heavenly minded to be of any earthly good? (fivedoves.com)
