living in california, the smog can get pretty thick sometimes. but if you drive up to the mountains above all that mess, you can actually see for miles and it's all sunny and bright blue.you might not be able to see down, but up and across are wide open. and in redemption, god took me out of that mess,and put me in a place where i could see and understand.living in the mess day after day, i wouldn't have known the difference.nothing would change or even have to change. now that my eyes have been opened to see this, i don't want to return to the old me. i will have to go back into this mess, but not as the same person. nor do i have the same outlook, he shown me all i need to do is look up and rest.
