The Thinker
By Mark Flippo
Visitors to Paris' Rodin Museum see The Thinker there and often believe it's the only sculpture of its kind, but The Thinker at the Legion of Honor is also an original, bought in 1915 from the artist himself by San Francisco socialite Alma de Bretteville Spreckels. Later, she donated it -- and the Legion of Honor -- to the city. This bronze Thinker, like the others executed in Paris, is a monumental work that depicts a man in the middle of serious contemplation. Located in the front courtyard of the museum, which is open to anyone, The Thinker is timeless art -- an iconic rendering that inspires many visitors to take photos of themselves standing at the sculpture's wide base.

Sometimes we overthink things. And other times we jump in with both feet only to find out it was quicksand! There is a middle ground but without God's influence you may never find it. God has a perfect timing for everything. Just be patient if it is the right thing that God wants to happen nothing can stop it! God can drag you with Him or push you along! I prefer to walk side by side with my Father! His timing is my timing!
