Well on one level, I’ve trolled up 90 posts or so not counting my own.

On another level, maybe I’ve just told the tide that is rolling in to be wet. Maybe it’s superfluous. Maybe it will happen whether or not I comment. Maybe I can’t (here) be the rooster whose crowing makes the sun come up any faster.

I’ve found that getting proud before God about something good that looks like it is poised to happen, is a good way to see it postponed if not altogether canceled.

I think we can count on acts of God to look just like that, acts of God. Not acts of you and me (if honest, we will see that we were caught up in something, more than choosing to initiate it).

Let’s just be patient, and watch. Not everything has to be about you, or me, or FR, or Jim Rob.

“Teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.”

And with that, the stream of consciousness endeth. Back with me in Kansas again.

I've found that nebulous accusations of hypothetical pride to camouflage what amounts to religious "virtue signaling" is superstition and a vanity.

The test seems to be whether or not the "signaler" gets mad when one does not receive their "wisdom."
