I am a wanderer. I would say that I am a seeker, but sometimes I have no idea what I might be seeking, so I will stick with wanderer. This blog is more a public journal than anything. I don't claim to have life figured out. I simply stumble from mystery to mystery, and share my reflections along the way. Sometimes I feel burdened, and trudge. Sometimes? Well sometimes grace breaks through, and its time to dance.

A Messy, Gooey, Awesome Kind of Life
“To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means
pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means
hoping when everything seems hopeless.”
― G.K. Chesterton
____________________________
life is messy
relationships are messy
love is messy
faith is messy
we always want it clean
easy
instant gratification seems lovely
most days
but instead we are stuck
with the messy kind of life
real life
the place where we live and breath
and have our being
is much like original oatmeal
difficult to get right
and when you are done
you have a hell of a
mess
you have to clean up
ah
but hooray for the sticky goodness
of a life that sticks to our
spiritual bones
and leaves us full
and
wanting
more
