Over-Thinking

When one is stuck in a grove of pines all day, chopping, sorting and piling branches beyond their heart's content, thinking becomes a necessary escape from the endless scape of evergreens.

So tonight, rather coincidentally, I came across this article: 13 Things People Who Overthink Are Tired of Thinking About

I don't think I over-think all of the things mentioned in the article. ....but usually when I do over-think I know that I am ...which only makes it worse. It's a downward spiral of delusions and desperation that usually brings about insanity and paranoia.

Okay.
Maybe I'm being a bit extreme here. :) It's not a bad think to think. In fact most people don't think enough so it could be argued that some of us over-thinkers are simply making up for the lack of thinking that goes on in the brains of the majority non-thinkers. Then again I would bet that those of us who think too much wouldn't have so much to think and worry about if there weren't so many careless people out there not thinking!

Yeah..... it's getting a little too late to keep up with so much circular reasoning. Anyways, It's Wednesday. Maybe that explains it. Mid-week mind trauma.

Let us conclude with a few words that are infinitely wiser than anything I can pull out of the box tonight:

Philippians 4:4-9
⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.
⁵ Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
⁶ Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
⁷ And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
⁸ Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
⁹ Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

There it is: Rejoice in the Lord. Be moderate. Don't worry, but instead, pray. Think about praiseworthy things ...things of good report and virtue. 
Peace will ensue.
