Is it really that long?
Ten days?... Is it really that long since I last shared some thoughts here? Not that I haven't been thinking about a zillion things... that's what Musers do... they Muse about things... all the time... :)
It really has been ten days since I wrote this....
"Things like this meet us wherever we are in the journey. They will be interpreted from that particular place… hopefully showing us that there is always yet another place to get to in Him.. They are meant to keep us pursuing more and more of Him…. Not to show us that somehow we have at last arrived. "
That concept has been running thru my brain for all of the last ten days... I have been touching base with people from everywhere... some from even 20 or 30 years ago... others that I haven't communicated with in what seems like forever... some that I talked to yesterday... and the one constant theme is how each of us is different today than we were yesterday... last year... 30 years ago... constantly changing... sometimes the changes are good... sometimes they are not so good... sometimes there have been victories... other times defeats...we seem to either press on and go forward... or we stop pressing on and go backwards by default... perhaps the saddest... for me anyway... are those who seem to be pressing on but are actually just splashing around in the same old little pond as last year.... and there has been no growing at all... just the same old/same old.... slowly but surely regressing... going backwards instead of forwards...
That's scary to me... when there is growth it means there is life present.... if things don't grow it means there is no more life in it... what do we call something that no longer has life in it?
Hmmmm... never seem to run out of more things to think about....
