Get Funky...

Funk.

What does "funk" mean anyway? Webster's second noun definition says that funk is; "1 a: a state of paralyzing fear b: a depressed state of mind".

So, I'm in a funk and it ain't so grand.

Career's going good. Family's going pretty good.

Why is life so funky?

Borrowing from someone I know, I'll place myself in biblical company...

By my math, a lot of people have been in some grand funks through time:

Joseph

Noah

Elijah

David

Jonah

Job

Solomon

John the Baptist

Paul

Peter

Oh, and some dude named Jesus.

Why do you think God wants to get us all funky? I think this funkiness should be, gulp, a GOOD thing. Funkiness can be good if it motivates us to take action or become more receptive to that still small voice of God.

Funkiness can be a bad thing to. Some biblical people's funks caused them to never be the same again.

What's the cure for funkiness? Time, I believe. It's the only thing that I've found. If you have any great funkiness cures...please, share.
