Lawyers

Lawyers, lawyers, lawyers.   We can't live with them and we can't live without them.   I have talked to my friends who are lawyers this week and they talk legalese and litigation.  Somehow I find myself in certain situations where I want to know how to extricate myself from situations and I want to live my life in sheer and utter peace.  I do not want to play fencing games where I have to protect someone else.  I want them to protect themselves!  I am not keeper of the world!

 

Nor do I want to play the role.  So get me out of all this so that I can enjoy my years without worry.  (actually the dentist visit yesterday did little to help my nerves, either, but I have to do this.)  Mike Richey, an old friend and lawyer, came over this morning and we commisserated on matters.  I said, " I don't want to get even;  I want to get out."  When you try to get even or help settle someone else's problems, you continue to think about the matters and stay upset!  I am way past wanting to help settle problems that have been here since Christ came to earth;  I WANT OUT!

 

Galatians 5: 24 says:  "You shall love your neighbor as yourself".  If everyone did that, who would need lawyers or someone to listen to the pleas of someone who wants out!  The adage, "If at first, you don't succeed, try, try again!" should have another sentence added on ot it, "But if you have given it your best shot, and no one is better by it and you are worse mentally and physically with worry over it, kick the dirt off your shoes, walk out and put a piece of mistletoe on your lower backside."

 

The mistletoe is on the back of my outfit for today.
