Opinions are like noses, everybody has one.
Hearing this years ago made me laugh. It is true for sure isn’t it? It also makes me think. Just where do my opinions come from? How are they formed? What do they say about me? Can we change them?
I am unapologetically Christian so my opinions are rooted in Scripture: What God tells me about myself, the way I am to view life, how to think, how to treat others, how to live with others in this world, and how much Jesus loves me, to name a few.
How about you? Where do you opinions come from? Good questions to ask ourselves every now and then.

I once had a normal nose
until my coonhound broke the thing,
and I guess I should suppose
that ‘bove all he tried to bring
a sense of that which could not last,
the vanity that comes from youth,
and no heads-up could be surpassed
than an airborne gospel truth
flying right into my face,
‘Come on, catch me as you can!’,
but while a big dog is a grace,
there is just no way to plan
for the impact to arise
from a dog if jumbo size.
