That feeling...

You are at the beach...you wake up and hear the sound of the waves...you go outside to feel the warm salty air and the see the sun just beginning to rise...and if you are a coffee drinker you sit down on your balcony and enjoy that first cup of coffee as you look at God's creation unfolding before you. Do you  know that feeling?

It's simple, yet the most breathtaking, extraordinary thing you have ever experienced. 

I got a taste of that feeling this morning....

From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised. 

Psalm 113:3

Is it really that simple?


Boiling an egg...that's simple, isn't it?? Well apparently not for me. I am not sure what my problem is, but I can NEVER seem to get the egg to the right point. Almost always underdone, but occasionally way overdone.

Life is not that simpler either, is it? Take this blog for instance. It would seem that it would be easy to sit down and type out a few thoughts from my head...at least every few days, but no....it has been nearly 6 months since I posted! It's not that I don't think about it, I do, I really do. It's just that it is not as simple as it seems to actually take the time to do it. Or is it? I make the time for other things that I have interest in...so maybe that is it...maybe I lost interest for awhile...maybe I needed the break. Maybe it was just the fact that I was consumed with building and moving into a new house so everything took the backseat for awhile, even myself I think.  But it is time for me to take a hold of the wheel again and start steering this vehicle called "life" in the right direction again.  That direction towards "simple" that I wanted when I started this blog.  My how things have changed since then!  So whatever it WAS and whatever it IS I am back and hope you will enjoy reading my thoughts again. :)

But that still leaves the problem with egg...
