Comments on: The Fall Season is Here, Time to Cozy up the Nest! http://simplewealth.wordpress.com/2008/09/11/the-fall-season-is-here-time-to-cozy-up-the-nest/ "The wealth of simplicity, the simplicity of wealth" Wed, 12 Nov 2008 12:05:26 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Paul Jackson http://simplewealth.wordpress.com/2008/09/11/the-fall-season-is-here-time-to-cozy-up-the-nest/#comment-32 Paul Jackson Fri, 12 Sep 2008 11:15:18 +0000 http://simplewealth.wordpress.com/?p=58#comment-32 Your article is a breath of fresh air for me this morning. As much as I WANT to think like this 24/7 - I find myself being one of those who turn the autumn conversation to the gloom of winter, instead of enjoying the present. I just read a book called the Shack. In the book, the main character was asked if he thought God created us to live in the past, present, or future. After a short discussion, he reached the conclusion, that we were created to live in the present, but we seem to spend so much more of our time, living in the past or the future. I'm on my second time reading through the book, and still had the winter reaction to the talk of autumn. When will I ever learn. Maybe this morning's confrontation with SimpleWealth, will finally push me over the edge on learning this lesson. I sure hope so. I need to surround myself with more people who think like this, so I can live life the way God created it - to live in the present. Thanks Blondechief!
