End of the Conjurer

I must explain my use of the word "conjurer." I'm not talking about black magic or witchery. However, the word has an idea of hocus-pocus and spiritual manipulation that gets to the heart of why I'm using it.

I admit it... I won't be forcing God's hand.

God is God and he can and will do what is good and right, for the world and for all, including me. I believe in him. I believe in his son. I am being looked after. End of story.

I am who I am, and I will do my daily best to be honest and open in my work and in my relationships. The rest is not mine to worry about. No more conjuring in the heavenlies.

I will live this year with my eyes and my ears open, and my heart open to the people around me. I will try to eliminate up on any smoke-and-mirrors stuff. Nobody's fooled. God being my helper.
