oh middle class

while you stand arguing how you can indeed combine your two expired 25% off coupons on a 27.98 coupon-exclusion item, this happens. http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnade/sets/72157627894114489/

i wonder how God doesn't get tired of us. of our endless self-absorption.

you can be thankful i'm not all-powerful, i would all too quickly throw up my hands and say "whew! i'm through with putting up with that!"

yet, somehow... wondrously... Long ago the LORD said: "I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself. jer. 31:3

i don't understand it.

on time, as if on cue

the elevator door opens and dings. i look up quickly, across the foyer, strangely expecting some sort of answer to my thoughts. instead a woman hurries into the door, her larger frame filling the space. across the back what is most likely a ladies workout express t-shirt, can be read

"Change. Begins when we cease to fear."
somehow i think that answers my question.
