No man (or woman) putting his hand to the plow and looking back.

One of Daddy's favorite verses in the Bible was "No man putting his hand to the plow and looking back is fit for the Kingdom of God."  Taking it as Daddy did, that man was a poor plower!   He concentrated on the wrong things.   In the last two days since the funeral, I am that poor plower, trying to manage the actions of another person and lining up people to intercede so that old wounds would not be opened.  My sister, Julia, told me yesterday, "Let them do what they may;  it won't change how we feel about anything."  

So plow in the dirt ahead.   I will keep my eye on the future and  let those who want to put their own spin on things, spin ahead.   I will not be looking back....well, yes, I will --but only to remember and move ahead.  I have fields to plow!
