CHIPS

Remember the 80's TV show: CHIPS? This entry has nothing to do with that, but I'm sure I'll get some hits from CHIPS fans. Welcome!

The CHIPS I'm talking about, are not California Highway Patrol officers who ride around on Harley Davidsons, they are chips of every size and shape that appear on people's shoulders - right or left. A well placed chip will constantly pull a person down, making him overly critical of things that are happening around him, and the people who interact with him. A chip seems to get larger over time, and extends its influence into many areas: home, church, school, neighborhood, social events, to name a few. They inflict damage, sometimes irreparable damage, without so much as a shrug of the proverbial shoulder. Chips expose weaknesses and are a direct result of those weaknesses and hurts we are living with. A chip will remain in place at long as the host/person makes a conscious decision to allow it to remain. Additionally, a chip will not remove itself. It can only be removed by its host.
