A Simpleton's Guide To Guides

I finished reading the Bible through this morning for the 32^nd time.  My confession of this experience is that This Living Thing housed in a book has changed my life.  I also confess that I am a simpleton as, I imagine, are all humans.  Simpletons need a plan to follow, a guide to keep us from making a mess of things.  The last thing I will confess is that when I combined reading This Living Thing with turning off all news media, the effect was dramatic and the effect on me was profound, it wasn’t so much that it helped me to not make a mess but to start to clean up the mess—around me.
