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.

Seriously, God
CALVIN:
This whole Santa
Claus thing just doesn't make sense. Why all the secrecy? Why all the mystery?
If the guy exists
why doesn't he ever show himself and prove it?
And if he doesn't
exist what's the meaning of all this?
HOBBES:
I dunno. Isn't this
a religious holiday?
CALVIN:
Yeah, but actually,
I've got the same questions about God.
― Bill Watterson

OK God
We’ve done the
whole Christmas thing
Well, actually,
we’ve just started the Christmas thing
But still
We’ve been busy
And some of the
season has been about You
More than we
might think
For each family
gathering
Each child
returned home
Each “I love you”
Each gathering
around a table
Each exchange of
gifts
Were really about
you
And yet on this
second day of Christmas
So much remains
the same
The rich still
plot and plan
The Liar still
lies
Games are played
with people’s lives
Children die
Guns are given in
celebration of the birth of the prince of peace
Blacks are still
targeted
Seriously God
Would it be that
hard to make liars accountable for their lies?
To bring down the
arrogant
To spread out the
wealth
To make the evil
pay
Would it be that
hard to give everyone healthcare?
To protect little
children?
To give mothers
strength
Why don’t you
just show yourself,
And prove that
you are love?
Why all the
mystery?
This day of days
I could use a
little certainty
