Where's the remote?

How many times have you asked the question "where's the remote"?  It's been so many years since the stations and volume on TV's have had to be manually changed that I can't imagine anyone with a TV not having a remote.  And, they get "lost" every once in a while.  Thus...."where's the remote"?  Ain't any changing going on without that remote is it?  And while I'm at it, aren't they just another little thing in our lives that adds somewhat to our laziness factor?  After all, we can just continue to sit in our recliners and push buttons to get results.  Some would justify them by saying that convenience is the main factor.  And remotes aren't only for TV's are they?  There are remotes for window AC units, fans, ceiling lights and fans, remotes to start the car, you name it.

There is one thing that there is no remote for.  You will never have to ask for this remote, because there is none.  Life has no remote.....YOU have to get going and change it yourself.  Our lives, our spiritual condition, our behaviors, or morals, our beliefs (to name a few) require us personally to change as needed.  There simply is no remote, no easy comfortable way to do it.....no buttons to push.

If you are like me, you have experienced difficulties from time to time trying to be a better man, husband, and father.  We can  always find those things in our lives....either by self examination or with the help of others that need changing to make us less broken.  It is an on-going process for the duration of our walk through this life we have.  And there is no remote to do it.  Necessary change comes from within and it is up to each of us to bring it about.

So....don't bother asking "where's the remote".  You ain't gonna find it.  Instead of looking for it, get to work and change yourself.
