I know I am using big Christianese words, I only say that because I came across a phrase the other day that I had to ask my counselor what it meant. I did not do well in English as you may have figured out from my writing so far but hey, we all need to start somewhere.

On a totally unrelated side note if you write a blog and think it is worth reading send me the link, I will check it out and post a link for a couple days.

Back to my story about discernment, this is a good’er. So I was sitting on the can as I so often do and had nothing to read so I started going through the collection of books on the back of the toilet. Conversations With God by Neale Donald Walsch caught my attention. So I started to read through the introduction, I couple phrases caught my attention and I had this tight naught feeling in my stomach, oops I should let you know I was off the can by this point. The story just started there. So I called up one of my mentors and asked if he had heard of the author or the book, he said he hadn’t but he would ask my pastor who he was having dinner with conveniently. While I was waiting for him to call me back I decided to Google the author.

Apparently this guy is cookoo, and is passing his stuff off as Christian. He was not having a conversation with God at all but with a spirit guide passing himself off as God.

I have to admit that when I found out that my gut was telling me not to read the book I had in front of me and I listened it made me feel good about myself. When we listen to our intuition, sometimes it may seem like we are missing out but in the long run the rewards are much better then anything we may have missed. Are you listening to that small voice, or that tight feeling in your gut, or what ever else it is that might be telling you “not to go there? We don’t have to prove anything to anyone, we just need to listen to God when he tells us to duck and run.
