An old farmer had plowed around a large rock in one of his fields for years. He had broken several plowshares and a cultivator on it and had grown rather morbid about the rock.
After breaking another plowshare one day, and remembering all the trouble the rock had caused him through the years, he finally decided to do something about it.
When he put the crowbar under the rock, he was surprised to discover that it was only about six inches thick and that he could break it up easily with a sledgehammer. As he was carting the pieces away he had to smile, remembering all the trouble that the rock had caused him over the years and how easy it would have been to get rid of it long ago.
Are there rocks in your life you’ve been plowing around, complaining and bemoaning each time you go by? Maybe it’s time to stop and do something about them. With the help of divine Love, there’s a solution that can crack that problem in pieces and make it removable from your field of labor.

Well its always been interesting how the
Topics for this seem to be very relevant to
My present life situation.I guess the
Author is in tune and listens well to direction
From the divine.for my rock is not facing
A problem fully spiritually "bringing all the guns"
To bear sort of thing.using all that I've learned
About cs practice and applying it so that
I can also grow.not putting the net on the right
Side of the boat.so ya I should use it all
When dealing wwith problems not in a half cocked way,
and wonder why the problem is not melting away so quickly
As I would like.John in OttawaNCanadaM
That was a good one, Evan. Just what I needed!
Sometimes I think I'm not getting the message, but just this morning - think ten minutes ago - the thought came to quit skirting a "rock" I've been overlooking and deal with it instead . . . and then I read your message. Thanks Evan, your timely suggestion has been heard. I know what the next step is. Stay tuned.
