I may not see in front of me, But I can see for miles around when I look over my shoulder, and Lord, it`s clear. You`ve brought me here, So faithful every step of the way. What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.

I Am Found In You by Steven Curtis Chapman
Simple Stuff
By: Ron Edmondson Thursday, October 23, 1997
Let this mind be in you that is also in Christ Jesus. Phil 2:5

Pretty simple. All you have to do is think like, act like, be like, just like Jesus. Everything else is a piece of cake once you master this mindset. You will change your life, your families and the world around you if you accomplish this task. All of life will be a breeze if your attitude is just like Jesus.

So, start thinking. Go ahead. On the count of three.... One...two...three... Are you there yet?

Wouldn't you love it? Wouldn't it be great to think like the Master thinker? To plan like the veteran planner? To be holy like the Holiest of Holies? What are you waiting for?

Why don't we start together today? Let's see now, we'll need to memorize lots of scripture. That will require reading it, I presume. We will need to spend quality and quantity time in prayer. We may have to skip a TV show or two. Our fellowship with others will need to get more focussed. We'll want to find a few close friends we can invest our lives into so that they can grow spiritually.

We'll have to watch our thought life (uh-oh). We may need to alter our priorities, cast out a few demons, expand our faith, trust only in the Father, follow the Father explicitly.......and, let's see.....oh yea, we will need to quit sinning. Again, are you there yet?

All joking aside, do you have the mind of Christ? You may say, Ron, that is impossible, and yes, I may have to agree, but, let me assure you of one thing. He who began a good work will be faithful to complete it. You may not have the mind of Christ today, I sure don't, but you can be at a place in the process to where God is pleased with your progress.

Are you there yet?
