Wrongful Indignation
By John Ingrisano and Sponsored by R. J. Maves Photography of Ellison Bay
Aug 31, 2011 - 8:55:26 AM
This falls under the category of we-always-hate-the-one-we-hurt. I had a friend for better than 25 years. I was loyal, true, supportive through tough times. We were buds … at least until I went through a divorce, and he took the opportunity to put the moves on my almost-ex-wife. Nice guy, eh? (She laughed and told him where to go.) But the real kicker was that he never apologized to me, or ever talked to me again, for that matter. After trying to screw me over, he turned away from me. Interesting. I call it wrongful indignation. Of course, I can be the same way when it comes to faith. When I turn away from God, do something I know is not in line with His laws (and, yes, we do know His laws.), I find it hard to pray, to talk to Him. I become distracted and indifferent. It is not until I finally face up and fess up that we get back on speaking terms again. Funny how that works. My point: When God and we are on good terms, when our lives are in sync with Him and what He has in mind for us, it is easy to pray, to sit down and chat with God. It is when we are doing it our own way – or, put another way, when we are doing it the wrong way – that we make up excuses, distance ourselves from God, and decide we’d rather not talk to Him. “And they heard the voice of the Lord go walking in the garden in the cool of the day; and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.”
-Genesis 3:8 Again, thank you for all your prayers for my brother, Lou, during his medical mission work in Libya. He is now back home safely in Maine. He hasn’t shared too much with me yet, except to say that it was an adventure. John R. Ingrisano 209 Church Street Algoma, WI 54201 (920) 559-3722 www.DailyConnections.net
