Day off Day fast so long in a flash

this was a very productive day. got a haircut, went to the bank and paid some bills, did some cleaning, did some laundry, visited old friends, and more importantly, laughed with old friends. Spent time with my parents and my HD (heavenly Dad). Went to counseling and it was a great uplifting session. Tomorrow it's back to work. Don't know why days off go so fast. I need a string of them lined up. oh well, this was more of an events blog....no one said they'd all be deep, insightful and witty, right?

Until we meet again!!

Silence DoGood.

Enduring Means or Goal Reached?

Pondering how it is that the things in our hearts which we treasure the most elude us so. Whether it be disciplines, or family, or friends, most seem just out of reach or less than they could be. The potential energy is nothing less than amazing, but I'm starting to question whether we should be chasing the end result, or just living the process as a goal. Is God after only our persistence knowing that we'll never quite "make it" this side of Heaven? If we land here we must therefore conclude the only sane option is to fall on the mercies of Almighty God and rely on His strength to carry us through; but still...how is it that we've fallen so far. How is it that we've managed to distance ourselves from all that is true? A faint echo still rings out in the quiet moments of life, when desperation and futility blend together in the murky waters of our daily lives. We hear it...and remember what we've never known. It beckons us. Listening is safe. Exploring is a dangerous proposition.
