I have put this off by reading my paper first.  I usually don't do it that way, but I just didn't have anything in my head that was ready to come out and be recorded.  My head isn't empty, in fact, it is quite full.  I just can't decide what to write.  I just looked at a headline in my Mormon Times that I have not read yet that reads:  "Sometimes, God does intervene".  I will read it in a while but the idea stirs thoughts in my head.  I have recently talked with Sheila about that idea.  We discussed the 'prime directive' of free agency that seems to go against that idea of God's intervention.  But I do know that intervention has and continues to occur, and I am very thankful that He does.  I wonder what Bro. Peterson has to say about the subject.  As for me, I guess that in almost all of my personal prayers I actually ask for His intervention.  "Thy will be done" does that, doesn't it?  That idea goes along with another thought I had this morning that life is complicated.  We treasure 'nuggets' and sayings, and short scriptures and themes and 'sound bites', but even though they are meaningful they can never tell all of the story.  This 'one eternal round' is absolutely so much more then it seems.  And it will take me much more then this mortal lifetime to grasp it all.  The others are wonderful as we journey, but ultimately we must be able to embrace the whole.  And that does have to be 'eaten' like the proverbial elephant, one bite at a time!  Happy eating!!!
