Fortune Cookie Faith

“Don’t have too complicated a mind,” he said. “Think in ten-word sentences.”

~Donald Lau

Although this was said by a man who created the little sayings in fortune cookies, I think it has vast amounts of truth it. Honestly, I think a lot of those fortune cookies are pretty cool and deep.



Anyways, back to the original quote. Don’t have a complicated mind. Although this fortune cookie maker was obviously reffering to women, but we can all learn from it. I think having a complicated mind may not be the best way to live out life. The Bible talks about child like faith.

Here is another quote to ponder (Miss u L!)


"I am not young enough to know everything"

~Oscar Wilde


If we can sit on that for a while. Child like faith.

Here are two places the Bible talks about children...

And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
~Matthew 18:3-4

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
~Matthew 19:14

Let that roll around your head a little bit. This innocence that children posses. Thinking in a simple way. Taking the world back to the basics. Life’s essentials. What this life all about.

So, im not going to reach any conclusion. Im taking a new approach to blogging - an open ended approach. This is an approach I don’t fully believe in, so if you have questions feel free ask me, e-mail me, comment, anything.

The Bible also says
My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry..
James 1:19

Quick to listen, slow to speak. I think this is commonly contrary to the way many people think and act. But I think it’s quite valuable. The whole idea is valuable.

So, im not going to reach any conclusion. I could easily come to a couple conclusions but im going to leave it open ended, it’s an experimental way of blogging for me. Hands off, let the reader to the thinking. Its sort of hard..

If you have any questions always feel free to hit me up, e-mail me, comment - any form of communication that is verbal or scripted.
