Give Me Your Eyes

I just read my daughter's blog about the Brandon Heath song, "Give Me Your Eyes." I know this song very well. When I heard it it became the cry of my heart. "Lord, let me see people through your eyes. Help me to be aware of what is right in front of me that I may serve you in the moment never letting an opportunity pass me by." I have lived most of my life through a lens of introspection making myself selfish and useless without knowing it. That is no longer the case. For this I thank my God and my savior, Jesus Christ.

Off to a Slow Start

I am looking at the date I created this blog....October 2008 and now it is halfway through February 2009. Yikes. I don't seem to have anything to say. This is not surprising. The same thoughts keep tumbling around my mind. And they tumble and tumble and never really go anywhere. And those thoughts are private, and I don't really talk about them with anyone. And if I do, I usually regret it. My life is full of stuff to do and connections to make, but the busyness merely shuts out for brief moments of time the sound of my thoughts tumbling.....tumbling.

In all things and above all things is God. My rock. My salvation. And I strive to hear his still, quiet voice above the sound of my own thoughts.

blogging...who me?

It must be the influence of my daughter that I would even consider blogging. That combined with the fact that I am supposed to be some kind of"'techie" person in my professional life. The reality is that I rarely journal. Still I think I am going to give this a try and see how it goes.
