{A New Year}

Happy New Year, friends. Are you still reading? I will be rather shocked if you are. This blog has been quieter than the 'western front,' this past year. Life, and all it's questions, demands, trappings and adventures, has stolen me away from my little pondering place. It's high time I return.

Perhaps I should set modest goals for this place, instead of hoping that every word will be profound and life-changing. Perhaps we shall merely talk about what we are reading. Perhaps we shall ruminate about what God is saying through the mundane things of life. Perhaps this will clear the clutter of worry and regret from my mental attic and clear the way for new growth.

Today, right now, God is good. In spite of all the clamor of unfulfilled hopes, empty ambition and the sourness of discontentment, God is good. He is unchanged by my intense worry, He is unmoved by my frustration and doubt. He is the same - yesterday, today and forever. Is that enough for me today? Right now?
