"Some people without brains do a lot of talking, don't they?"  The Scarecrow
         Ok, I know what you are going to say…  "Yes, the Scarecrow is right.  I have a coworker who talks all of the time and he shows little signs of brain activity."
    Do you  have a person in your world who has no brains but talks all of the time?  Don't say a word….
 Well I have worked with several teams of people and each group had its own kooky makeup.  Some love hate relationships others who attempted to make the day shorter by making things very interesting for each other in special ways.  The teams that I worked with in the office environments all had at least on person who could be the perfect example of this quote.  

      I can remember working with my great friends at Kaiser years ago with a group of people who loathed a young guy (who was pretty silly too).  They hated the guy so much that the day he called in and quit from the office, they actually threw an all out office party.   This was after I had worked with them for about a month.  I remember thinking, "They wanted him to quit so much that they are using his quitting as an incentive to have a good time."  The two girls who instigated the whole thing were of the less brainy but chatty, chatty club.  
      Hey, let's face it… some people do not think before they talk and this is just the way they have gotten along in life.   Some have found that most people are not listening to them anyway so, what they say always makes sense to them.  With little feedback.  That's tough.
     
     If you are familiar with the movie, The Wizard of Oz, you will remember that the Scarecrow was pretty smart to be functioning with no brain.  I remember in the office where I worked,  I would think sometimes, maybe she was just born in the wrong age or she's from a strange land.  Lord, they just may need a do over in life.   If you are a chatty chatty person please don't take this too personal we all need a little grace.  Grace is an important gift to be ready to  give and to learn to accept.   Let's just hope you don't wear out your friend's grace button!!!!!

       If you have given a no brainy person a pass lately, good for you, the serious thinkers need someone to balance out their square peg and round hole approach to life.  We all must remember that each person in our lives has a gift to offer the world of friends that she has.  It is great to find out the gift that a less brainy person has and then celebrate with them in their accomplishments.   We all need that type of support and affirmation in life and can benefit from the closest of friends advancing in life.   Hey I bet those two young ladies who I worked in that office are doing just fine now.
     
        Even though the Scarecrow didn't think he was smart enough, his new found friends did not kick him aside. They accepted him as a fellow friend on a journey to greater understanding in life.  You will also remember that Dorothy and the other two characters would not have gotten too far without the Scarecrow's way of thinking outside the box.   The folks without a brain can be a great companion in many ways…
     When you need to think way outside of the proverbial box, they will help since they don't think straight.
     When you need some comedy relief they are always able to help out.
     When someone is taking things too seriously, less brainys are great to lighten the atmosphere.
 
So, Just remember that although some people who talk too much and have little brain activity are sometimes annoying, they will help you to know when to press the grace button for them.  They will bring the comedy in even when they do not know it.

     And they will help you have a better and more productive prayer life because you will have to pray to take them as a serious friend at times.  But continue to be their friend, you're gonna need them too.
