the heart

i woke up this morning at 5:26 am. i think it was God. i started thinking about the heart. it's an amazing thing, the heart. it provides both natural and spiritual life. without it pumping the red stuff we'd be in a pretty serious way. i think we all agree with that. at least the doctors do. but what about the spiritual heart? what's it's purpose? i think when we are born we begin an adventure - an adventure to find our heart. it's like hiking in the mountains, we just keep going up and up with an excited anticipation that there will be something more beautiful around the next bend. sometimes we see that beauty. but, all too often, it's more like walking through a junkyard and around each corner is another piece of ugly, rusting scrap metal. God, help me to have Your heart, to delight in You that Your heart will touch my heart - and allow it to see the beauty around the corner instead of the ugliness.

two in one day - wow!

i love colorado. it is glorious. some say it just happened. amazing. yet when i go there - which is as often as i can - i see God's fingerprints all over the place. can you imagine what eden was like? i can't.

my initial thoughts

isn't it amazing that we live in a world where we can have a blog and post our thoughts. i thought about this for awhile and decided to go for it. trust me, i'm not thinking that what i post will shake the foundations of the world or determine what you will have for breakfast or determine who the next president is. however, i hope to plant some ideas - some thoughts to banty about, to think about. here's the first: we are a spiritual people. everyone believes in something supernatural. everyone has faith. whether you believe in God, Yahweh, Allah, evolution, intelligent design, or your old ford mustang that you have great plans for. find a person on their death bed - any person - and when they know they're dying, they'll cry out for something - someone. i'll be right up front, i believe in a triune God - God the Father, God the Son (whom is know as Jesus the Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. i look forward to hearing from people - if in fact i hear from anyone. if i don't, i'll still enjoy typing out my random thoughts.
