Hidden amongst all of this is a big pile of “figure-it-out”

Who among us doesn’t have a platform, a cause, or something that fires them up?

Nice riff. Well said. No arguments. Yada yada.

And then along comes reality and the need to do a lot with limited resources.

Like trying to find time to exercise even though we know how wonderfully beneficial it is.

Or finding time to volunteer because we know there are so many in need of our time or talent.

And then work, with a never ending stream of projects to tackle (voluntarily) on top of the day to day responsibilities.

And let’s not forget all the great books we’d like to read, but they pile up collecting dust.

And the home improvement and fix-it-up projects that are clamoring for our attention.

Hidden amongst all of this is a big pile of “figure-it-out”. Not sure what the answer is, yet it takes many voices to move a mountain.

Praying the serenity prayer for you, the children, and the world.

You won’t believe what happened next…

When we feel like God is not close

The yellow (brick?) road leads to you at the far end

 

When we feel like God is not close, let us remember that there is nothing in this world that can separate us from Him. Ever.

Never. Ever.

Even when we walk away.

There is no excuse for God not being in our life.

Yesterday, for the fist time in years (probably longer), I saw the color of my skin

Martin Luther King Jr. quote
Thank God for Martin Luther King Jr. Seriously.

 

Mentioned yesterday there’s a likelihood we’ll see thoughts on Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman.

Not sure if i can do it.

Whether it’s worth it.

If it will make it better, or worse.

Yesterday, for the fist time in years (probably longer), I saw the color of my skin being visible to others as we passed each other by.

Surreal.
