Santa is looking for me...

It's been an age since I have written anything here. Maybe it's because I've been too busy. Maybe it's because I've not had anything to write. Maybe it's because I haven't had the mind set to listen and have a profound thought. Whatever it is, I had a thought today.

I was watching a post of my granddaughter this morning on FaceBook. I edited and posted the video myself, so it wasn't new to me. But it struck me profoundly. There's my two and a half year old granddaughter playing in our living room pretending to have a conversation over an old non-working telephone with Santa. She is so excited. "Oh, hi Santa. He's looking for me! He's looking for me!"

Faith like that of a little child. We all need that. Here's this little girl talking to Santa, and He is looking for her. We have someone who is looking for us too.

"Oh! Ephraim is my dear, dear son, my child in whom I take pleasure! Every time I mention his name, my heart burst with longing for him! Everything is me cries out for him. Softly and tenderly I wait for him. (Jeremiah 31:20)(The Message)

If we can...if I can...only have the reliance of a little child to know that there is One who is longing after my heart; One longing after my inner being, and not be so reliant upon myself.

So hopefully I'll get an opportunity to sit down with myself and catch-up on life and see how I am doing. Once that's done I'm sure something will dribble out on this semi-blank white page. Till then...

Catching Up

It's been a awhile since I posted a blog. I not surprised. For me writing is something I have learned to do, I learned that all that it is, is telling the story you would normally tell with your mouth, but you use your fingers. My issues is somewhere between the mouth and the fingers at times the story gets lost. Anyway, just a couple quick thoughts. First off there is a thought about polarization. Not sure exactly what the thought is, but it has something to do with the fact that polarization is the extreme. Extremes are usually always intense. Everything seems polarized today, politics, views of how people should live there life, etc... Intensity is another thought, there is way too much intensity in my life. I need a lot less intensity in my life. I know it is for a season, so that is OK. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It is way off, and I am just hoping it is a light at the end of the tunnel rather then the light of the locomotive. I know there is a pile o...
