Oh my, yes, please let's talk about change... how do YOU feel about change? How do others feel about change? How do you feel about the other's feelings about change? And how should I feel about your thoughts on change? And, again, please, let's hear about it... what was it... oh, right... change.

So, what the heck is everyone talking about?

What is change? And do we need to define "is" first?

If this is what you mean by change, then we get the same garbage, but it just looks different. Like, we can have mashed potatoes, or baked potatoes, or potatos au-gratin, or scalloped potatoes, or fried potatoes... but in the end, it's still potatoes.

BUT... change can also mean to actually undergo some sort of transformation... from good to bad... So, instead of mashed potatoes, we now have mashed turnips.

Then there is the change that occurs when one thing transitions into another; as winter slowly melting into spring (unless you believe in global warming... in which case you never know what will melt into what so that you are always in a state of flux as to what to wear and if you need an umbrella or a snow shovel).

I personally like the "change of objects on a journey." Maybe because I like the flows of culture, scenery, events during life's journeys.

We've seen that you can change for the worse. And, honestly, there are some things that should never change... like the love between a mother and her child... trust between a husband and a wife... security at home.

Sadly, some things that should never change, do.

But... it is reassuring to know that some things, don't.

As a rule, according to the Bible, change is not necessarily a good thing, and thus, God says of Himself:

Mal 3:6 - "For I, the LORD, do not change"

Psa 89:34 "My covenant I will not violate, Nor will I alter the utterance of My lips."
