Is That Your Final Answer?

Life is an array of questions and answers. Not a day goes by that we are not confronted with: Should I do this, or should I do that? Many of the issues that we are faced with are as easy to answer as: Yes, or No!

"That Is My Final Answer!"

One question that I find hard to answer every day is: Should I get up now, or should I go back to sleep. One question that is usually not hard for me to answer is: Should I eat today, or should I starve myself today?

Here are four questions for you.

What is your name? - What is the color of your hair?

What is your age - Are you alive?

Do any of you need a lifeline to answer these questions? You do not have to choose between any of the questions, you just have to answer the question. It gets a little harder when you have to make a choice of one out of four questions.

Here are four more answers for you, this time you need to make the choice of 1 out of 4.

Are You Ready to Participate?

One of the following four statements is right, which one is it?

The moon is always red in the sky at night.

The lower sky is sometimes red at night.

The morning sun appears red in the west in the morning.

When it is cloudy, the clouds are red.

Need a Lifeline?

We are not usually challenged in life, at every turn in the road. If we were we would not survive for long. There are breaks in life for us. Although there are exceptions. I think of some third world situations. Then I also think of how long some of them survive.

Life is a ballpark of competition. As many people as fill the stands in a World Series game, are the questions that we are confronted with over the course of a lifetime. That seems as if it might be a high amount of questions, but in fact we will never really know for sure. However, even if it is anywhere close, say within ten thousand, then I will have had to make a lot of major and minor decisions. In the process I will have had a major degree of frustration to get it all sorted out.

The possibility of me going through life and figuring it all out for myself, and winning the grand prize (total success), without a lifeline from time to time, is near impossible.

Let's try another setr of questions.

Who is Stephen King?

Is he one of the participants in "Temptation Island"?

Is he a pioneer in " Pioneer Quest"?

Was he a contestant in the first "Survivor Series"?

Is he a world famous author?

Now, some of you may need a lifeline. Let's say you are not sure, so you might want to ask the audience. Would You like to?

Okay: Audience, give us your answer.

Does that help you enough to give a final answer?

Let's just do 1 more set of questions for now.

The Bible contains many passages: Which of the following does not have the correct address?

A - Jesus wept. - John 6:35

B - "...there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains..." 2 Chronicles 3:14

C - ...Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, ... Hebrews 11:11

D - ...there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side;...1 Samuel 14:4

Well, there are your choices.

"We are going for: Who will be your life partner in marriage?"

You have 2 lifelines remaining to try to reach the utmost success in your life. Do you have the answer, or would you like to user another lifeline? Or would you like to quit and keep life as you have had it to this point?

Well the questions get tougher all the time, don't they?

I read an excerpt from On Writing, by Stephen King. In it he talks about his struggles after a near fatal accident. Stephen was badly banged up to the point of not knowing whether or not he would be able to resume writing. What kept him from whether or not he could continue, was not a lack of desire to write. Writing is built within him as much as the need for help is built within each one of us. We may be able to survive without external help, but do we really want to?

The last paragraph of the article I read is as follows:

"Writing did not save my life, but it is doing what it has always done: it makes my life a brighter and more pleasant place."

(Writer's Yearbook 2001- Special Edition by Writer's Digest)

In regard to Write or not to Write, Stephen King seems to have had narrowed it down to 50:50

It seems that something that was built within him did not leave him with any options but to write.

I am presented with the same kind of options as Stephen King was. Will I do what I have been set apart to do in my life span? Or will I sit back and say: It hurts to much. Or it does not seem possible to ever get it done. What is it that is built with in this physical framework of flesh and blood that I call Me, that will propel me onward to finishing the task that I was created to do?

Now, some of you may want to get out of the Chevy here.

I intend to get a bit more personal from here on in.
