Blah!




You try to put a finger on it but it proves
somewhat,
evasive
it's that feeling
that everything is there but nothing quite exists
it's that blah,
that dance between existence and non-existence
not sadness but not joy
not despair but not hope just somewhere in between
on the way to a destination

After the Blah
comes the awakening,
somewhere down the road,
days become less about that feeling,
and more about purpose,
more about hope,
more about meaning.

The existential crisis of Job: The search for meaning

The phrase " existential crisis" may sound deep and far fetched to you so lets use Job's story to set it up. Let's introduce Job, a wealthy man with kids who do what most rich kids do, they party. He has lots of land. Set up a large farm in your  mind and add some 7000 sheep, 3000 camels, 1000 oxen  and 500 female donkeys. You need a lot of land to hold all those animals! He is a man with so much integrity that one book of the bible is dedicated to him. The question is why did he have so many trials? Everything went wrong in Job's life, yes e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. It all started with something he could not see in Job chapter 1. God boasts about Job and Satan tells God that the only reason Job serves him is because of the things God does for him.  His proposition is for God to let him , Satan, switch things around so that Job would curse God. God agrees but states that Satan cannot take Job's life.                 ...

Fear is a powerful divider- Love worth fighting for

                 We all have fears. We react to those fears differently. Sometimes they lie close to the surface and other times deep within. The difference is whether or not we let our fears rule us or cast them aside. In relationships we may fear rejection, a repetition of past emotional trauma, loneliness, devastation, abandonment, or abuse. Our fear has the ability to make us hear things that are not said or assume things that are not really occurring at that time. The ability to differentiate between that fear and the truth will determine if we will let love win. If we will set our fears aside and get to know the person standing before us, learn to love them, learn to deal with their fears as well as ours; listen to what that person is really saying we may find a treasure we didn't know existed.
