The Monster

Not a lot of time this morning as I am flying to Texas to speak at an event, but I did want to bring a quick word of encouragement and a smile. Recently I have been watching how people respond (including me) when they are hungry. Have you ever paid attention to the faces and attitudes? It's almost as if demons start to manifest sometimes. What's interesting though is I normally don't see this in guys as much. In fact, some men have to be reminded to eat and could care less about time. Others, eat constantly and don't care about what they eat AND they still wear the same size they wore on their wedding day. REALLY? Who determined this atrocity? Anyway, have you spent anytime observing we women folk? Sometimes I marvel at us. Sometimes I am not certain "who or what" has invaded my body when I am really hungry. I hear voices that don't sound like Kathy and my lips part ever so quaintly to reveal those teeth which are waiting to be satisfied. I have watched groups of people and listened and recently found myself laughing out loud and what "hunger" provokes in people. This morning I was reflecting on 3rd world countries to which I've traveled and I pondered on what real hunger looks like. I wonder if sometimes I say, "I get mean when I'm hungry," and my spirit hears that and responds. I wonder if I began to say, "Everytime I get hungry, I always pray," if the monster would morph? Just asking out loud this morning. Remember the power of your confession and perhaps consider prayer at the first sign of hunger pangs. Love you guys - off to Texas - see you Sunday night? PK
