I flipped it open to the middle of the book to discover a series of cartoons. In the first window Ziggy is parachuting from an air plane which is in the process of heading for a crash landing. His comment is, &#8220;I wonder how Upcreek airlines is going to apologize for <u>this<\/u> little inconvenience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the second window Ziggy is floating in a small rubber raft circled by a number of sharks. The plane is off in the distance sinking into the water. It is daylight in that moment. He then is quoted as saying, &#8220;. . . Looks like the seas aren\u2019t going to be any too friendly either!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The third window reveals time has past and it is now dark. The sharks are still circling his small raft. Ziggy looks up to the sky and asks, &#8220;What did I ever do to deserve this??!!&#8221; AND from the sky comes the reply, &#8220;Wanna list??&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Previous to Ziggy\u2019s adventure in the skies and water he had visited an hermit who offered him some insight. The hermit told Ziggy, &#8220;Our future is shaped by our past . . . . So be careful what you do in your past.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I thought to myself, &#8220;This sounds a lot like what I have been sharing over and over again. What you think, and what you believe, and what you say, and the intention of your heart matters, because it impacts your actions which determine the outcomes in your life.&#8221; You reap what you sow. If we want to see change in our life we have to make changes in our life. Saying YES to the relationship with Jesus opens the door for the old to pass and the new to come (2 Corinthians 5:17). We must also be willing to take action to change our thoughts and beliefs which shape our habits which impact our actions. Learning how to bring change to our mindset is important. Do you know how to do that? Finding out would be worth your time and effort. You do not want to allow a negative past to create a negative future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I picked up a used book a while ago by Tom Wilson the creator of the cartoon Ziggy.
