Kathy put a saying up on the wall here;
“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.
We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”

Seemingly light: rather profound actually if well understood.
Eternity can be difficult to keep in sight when knee-deep in Today.

I KNOW that when eternity comes this life will be just a hazy memory; but, eternity doesn’t pay the electric bill – cash does.
Well now, wait a minute, doesn’t the God who has given me eternity say something about supplying our fleeting temporal needs?
So, why the sweat and anxiety?

Because, back to that saying, “We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” And that dichotomy of a Christ saved spirit living in a fallen human world is inherently stressful.

Okay, this is getting too deep, I’m going off to play with my trains.

psalm 139… everyones favourite.

i’m not sure swordfishbob.

fswood… don’t you just hate those pat answers? i think that the journey is what we have, discovery is the joy and the sadness along the way… the journey is lifes adventure, for better for worse.

Too long on the second and blame gets thrown around.

Hard choices to be made with the third.

Who’s up for Cod in Breadcrumbs?

I forget the name and number but there’s a verse something like “A man choses his path but the Lord directs his steps”.

There are pat “Christian” answers which easily fall of the tongue.
Sometimes they work, sometimes they are hollow, empty, facades.

Who am I? – A child of God.
Where did I come from? – God’s desire to show his love and other attributes.
Where am I going? – Well, that kind of depends – are you meaning in your home and career; or, ultimately and eternally?
Whilst getting even close to knowing about where the living of life here is going sometimes just ain’t gonna happen, there is definite knowledge of where you may go finally and eternally.

The journey there via life here is the punch line.

Who am I?
Who are you?
Who are we?
