Upside down I finally get it

I’ve been reading “Since nobody’s perfect, how good is good enough?” by Andy Stanley.  It’s a fairly quick read (you can stretch it over a few days, or just take an hour or two).  The content is the answer to the title question.

I’m sitting writing in my journal.  I glance down.  There, upside down, is a house of cards.  I’ve picked up the book a number of times.  Never seen it!

Maybe Harlequin has done a job of promising more on the cover than is inside.  Maybe I’m so used to covers I don’t give them a second look. 

Or maybe I’ve always seen things differently.

That’s what my family would say.  As a kid I’d sit at the table.  I’d try to explain some amazing thought.  They never got it.  I’d have to go back and rethink it.  Rethink it from their perspective.

Always thought my thinking patterns were easy to follow.  The question is — do others follow the same path?  Maybe I just missed the short-cut and got there another way.  Or did I have the short-cut?

    Ron,

    I think your thinking is great. We may have not always gotten it as family…but I’m not sure I was listening – so it wasn’t the thinker who was off, but the listener. I think you had the short cut that we missed. Keep up the thinking!
