| It Is Fun To Think Outside The Bun! |
|

3:13 Happy [is] the man [that] findeth wisdom, and the man [that] getteth understanding.
It’s fun to think outside the bun. Try it.
Human thinking is often held tightly captive within the buns of habit, tradition, custom, fear, and cultural ideas. Sometimes these social, mental, and emotional buns hold, confine, and control our thoughts like buns of steel — and we often are not even aware of their influence.
Sometimes those buns of steel can tightly squeeze our mind and make us so narrow minded that we can see through a keyhole with both eyes at the same time. Buns of steel can hold us in a mental rut — a way of thinking that is so fixed in routine as to be dreary — same ole same ole.
But life is much more fun when you think outside the bun! Why not take a look at your life and your circumstances in a totally different way today? Go ahead and get creative. Try on another perspective.
How? Read a book by someone who disagrees with you or a book about a subject that you know nothing about. Start a friendly conversation with a person you normally wouldn’t talk to. Talk a casual walk in a neighborhood that you normally wouldn’t walk through. Visit a meeting of a civic group, club, or church that you have never been too before. Eat at an ethnic restaurant you’ve never tried before. Go ahead and break out of those buns of steel today. It’s really fun!    |

Positive adventure keeps life interesting, Mar Jay. I believe our curiosity and creativity are gifts from God. |

Hey 2m Steve, Went to a Hindu Temple in Charlotte, NC. That was interesting, to say the least. I felt so out of place but comfortable at the same time. Make sense? |

| Jerry: I spent 3 months in India once and met and talked with a lot of Hindus. It was very interesting. I would be careful, however, about participating in a Hindu worship service. They recognize millions of differents gods. It is good to learn about their beliefs, however, be sure to check them out with the Bible. |
