Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Father I have sinned. In my thoughts and in my words. In what I done and what I have failed to do.
Sound familiar?
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy.
Do you think about this casually? Relentlessly?
What if you did?
Human’s get hungry several times each day. No brainer, right?
We are always needing to feed ourselves.
Enter the rat race and insanely busy schedules. Enter fast food establishments. Enter television.
The other day I saw a Burger King commercial, touting the toys in the kid’s meal packages.
The kids commented on the furry animal toys which are the current give-away.

God with us.
What more can we ask for?
God is with us.
The challenge that we have as busy humans, is to pause in our rush, and focus on this fact – God is with us.

Dear God, where are you?
Don’t you have anything to say?
Why won’t you listen?
And why don’t you answer my prayers?
Maybe we are greedy. Maybe, just maybe….
“To do all the talking and not be willing to listen is a form of greed.” — Democritus of Abdera
Be still. Be quiet. Listen. God’s presence surrounds us. Every minute of every day.
Whether we listen or not.
