I understand the need for people to want to reach out to others these days. The Internet is a good portion of that for sure. The Internet can be a tool for all to use with lots of information. Though this is true, the information available is not always the best. We need to be selective and careful and use it for good purposes.
I don't totally understand why letter writing and phone calling have become a lost art though. You would think with living in such a fast paced world that everyone would have more time. I guess it's how we use our time. Anyway, I will always be the one who writes cards, notes, letters etc. It's something I really enjoy. I still have to pick up my film at the store for most of my pictures. The ones on my digital camera, well, I can't seem to find them without help when they somehow get put on my computer. I am slowly adapting because I understand also that I need to. That doesn't mean for one second I will stop letter and note writing because it is a wonderful quiet time to do so. And......people still enjoy receiving them.
I suppose, for the most part I really want to share simple reads, stories and journal notes that I write so that others might enjoy and be encouraged.
SHIMMERING HOPE
Give me the light of day, Lord.
That which is the radiance of you.
Let the shimmering rays of Hope encompass me.
Infiltrate my heart in such a way
that I see the timeless existence of your very nature.
You are so enthralling my Lord
that I cannot contain my heart.

I'm standing in a beautiful field
surrounded by majestic snow capped mountains.
A wisp of white clouds
lingering o'er
My arms held high.
My face pointed upward,
as my feet move me slowly 'round and 'round;
Lifting my very being
to the arms of my embracing God.
....................................Aaah, but alas, I'm just sitting on the living room couch.
As usual, please forgive grammar. It is journalling after all and things get written "as is" a lot of time.
