I do not like to complain (except on certain occasions when nobody is listening) but I am not too happy with the weather these days. I have never felt so cold before.

Out of deep frustration, I presented my theory to my wife, hoping she
would have a little bit of sympathy for me. 

“Are you,” she said sarcastically, “really that crazy? Why in the world
would you ever think that somebody could hack into your thermometer?” 
Then she threw one of her sarcastic smiles at me and went back to the 
kitchen. 

I was still in my chair thinking about all that. What if I am crazy? Is
that so bad? From my point of view, crazy people are the only people 
that do not know they are crazy. Maybe I really am crazy. But if I am 
crazy, to paraphrase one old philosopher, I am in good company. Those 
crazy people really make a difference in this world. 

Think of Thomas Edison when he told someone he was going to invent the
electric light bulb. I wonder how many people thought he was crazy? 

Can you imagine what his wife must have said? “Oh, Tommy, what in the
world does anybody want with an electric light bulb? That's the 
craziest thing I've ever heard.” 

If Thomas Edison was crazy, I sure am happy to join his ranks. And there
are other crazy people all through history. 

My problem, like many people, I judge things by their appearance, and,
as we all know, appearances can be deceiving. 

I think a good word from Jesus helps me out here. “Judge not according
to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment” (John 7:24). 

Appearances can be deceiving because sometimes what I am looking at is
not exactly what I am seeing.
