Are You Normal?
The Good News Today is....that the word "normal" doesn't appear in the bible. I found this out after doing a word search, because one of today's headlines in the news was that; "1 in 5 young adults have a personality disorder." I thought "wow - that's 2o% of young adults." So if 20% are said to have a personality disorder what are they comparing that to...what is normal? I once read the book by Patsy Clairmont, Normal is Just a Setting on Your Dryer, that gives a humorous look at how to define normal, and finally the conclusion is that there is no such thing as normal - unless you are looking at the setting on your dryer. Normality aside - I do believe there is a right way and a wrong way to behave, however. (Gal 5:14) "The entire law is summed up in a single command: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" That is supposed to take care of normal.

I love it!! In so many ways I'm glad not to be "normal" - I never thought of 'love your neighbor' as covering it! Perfect!!
