Things That Are Hard To......Wrap Your Mind Around

                For most of you readers out there....you will need a quiet room....with no distractions....pour a cup of coffee for yourselves....or tea....and then settle in....before you go to the Wikipedia description.....through Google.....of the term.....non binary....or....non binary gender. I'm not going to mention any of the specifics here.....that is not why I am attempting this post. If you are new to this at all....you will read....and pause....and then read the same sentence or paragraph again....and maybe a third time. You will have a hard time....wrapping your mind around.....what you are reading.
                When you are finished reading this Wikipedia offering....or more likely a number of times pausing while reading it....you will ask yourself something like....how can this be? Or....where could this possibly come from?  Or....how can this actually be accepted....by governments....or in our case....by one of our states? You won't come up with an answer!
                 Now....you may do this....you may impulsively just spout out some negative comments coming from a political perspective. Your answer will be as insufficiently thought out as what you were reading....but if you have no one around to call over and say....'look at this'....or no one to text in indignation saying....'can you believe this'....but seriously contemplate what you are actually reading....you will not just react.....but you will need time to let it all sink in.
                 Now for the hard part of this post. I have laid before you an example of something in the culture and in our society today that seems to make no sense at all to you. It will at the very least be very sobering. I'm going to give you another example....and most likely you will outright reject it.
                 In this example you may be the one whose beliefs are examined. People are observing you and asking the very same same questions.....how can this be....how can you take the position that you are taking....where could this possibly come from....or how did we come to this point?
                 How could a man who has a long lifetime of outrageous vileness....and emptiness....and deceitful maneuvering....and a literally frightening spirit of revenge within....and a narcissism that is hard to wrap your mind around....and who three years ago was quite rightly considered politically gone and forgotten....how could so many people today....even Christians.....followers of Jesus Christ....how could they look up to this man with almost adoration? How could all of this have been accepted?
                 These are two examples....there are more....pro-abortion marches would be another....smiling joyous faces in effect saying....give us the right to kill the life in our womb! Can we really even wrap our mind around that celebration? A bird....(I love birds)....or a fish....or some rare animal is said to need protection....and thousands of human beings will suffer because the rare fish needs protected? How can this type of thinking be? The Bible...or the Constitution....very clearly says one thing....a child could see it....but some say....no it doesn't say that....it says the opposite. What can be the origin of the human mind going haywire as in these examples?
                  Well some say that it is simply a paradigm change.....people think one way....and so many years later they naturally think another way....no big deal! Some say that it is progress! Some call it intellectual freedom. God's Word calls it blindness....or in some cases....spiritual blindness.
