Instinct

This time of year, I am amazed about the bird migrations that happens. Every year I know it is about to get cool because all of the black birds are together, sometimes thousands of them. How does an animal that has a brain the size of a walnut, know to get together with other birds and fly great distances for warmer weather. It is all about instinct. Then I ask myself what is instict. If you look it up in the dictionary it is a behavior. No really? Where do they get this behavior? The dictionary says from evolution. I think not. It is there instict. There brain is not big enough to tell them to do what they do. I think animals know how to listen to God. I think there instict or God's voice is loud and clear. I know this because my bible says why should I worry don't I feed the birds. The voice from God is loud and clear to animals. The reason why the birds go south for the winter according to dictionary is because they can feed there young better the longer days of the warmer climate. What a wonderful God we have, that if we learn to listen to him that he will make all thing work to his good. I think we should all listen to our instinct or God's voice.

It's The Big One

As the days push toward my birthday, I can't help but realize how thankful I am to be alive. I am fixing to be thirty nine and, I almost didn't make it past thirty seven. I think a heart attack, since I survived it, is one of the best things that happened to me. I use to be a heavy smoker. I smoked two to three packs a day. I thought there was no way that I would ever quit. I even told people that wanted me to quit that I couldn't be delivered from cigarettes because, I didn't want to quit. I want everyone to know that the day I quit was the same day I had my heart attack. My doctor that saved my life, told me that the number one cause of heart disease is smoking. He told me that same three times while I was in the Ronnie Green Heart Center at Northeast Georgia Medical Center. The way that he told me this, and my fear of having another one soon, made me quit. I had some help from a drug call chantix also, but I did it. The woman that I am seeing now is allergic to smoke. I would never had met this woman if I had still been smoking. I believe everything happens for a reason. You don't always know the reason, but there is a reason for everything. I think everything that happens is part of God's perfect plan. Some of the things that happens is bad when you look at it from mans eyes but, if you look at from my point of view, bad things that happen can change lives where nothing else would have worked. God changed my life with a heart attack and I am very thankful for it. I will be thirty nine soon and I can't wait to see what is ahead of me.
