Crosswise

Meant to do all sorts of things, but life got crosswise on me. Does that sometimes. You know what I mean? You start out with all sorts of plans and designs, and at the end of the day, you're somewhere else and doing things you didn't plan to do while what you needed to do isn't done. Crosswise.

Cross purposes. People do it all the time. The goal may be the same, but the paths are so widely different that the goal ends up not being as important as the means. Not supposed to be that way, but you only have to look our nation's politics to see this is so. Not that the political parties have clear cut goals. They're too busy attacking each other. For what, no one knows. Not even them.

It's the symptom of a disease that affects our nation now. The desire to win at all costs, the desire to have our way, the core values preached by the the so-called progressives and the so-called liberals and the so-called libertarians and the so-called conservatives ... If it sounds like I'm weary of them, I am. It's no wonder that God sometimes thinks of sweeping the board clear and starting again. We're fortunate that His mercy has forestalled him.

So far.
