Stupid Is

Stupid is as stupid does.   Forrest Gump had it right.  Too many of us think people are annoying as green-head flies on a Cape Cod beach.  We do need to climb more hills, but to find real wisdom - the kind Jesus shared with us.  It takes hard work to acquire and then apply that wisdom such as loving our neighbors and even our enemies.  

For many of us we feel like Sisyphus pushing that rock up the hill only to have it fall back to be pushed up again, and again, and again.  Great mental and physical fortitude is required.  Fortunately, Jesus is ahead of us and pulling on the rope.  The top is always within reach when we act in tandem.  So, keep pushing.  If we won't, then stupid is.
