So, life is a struggle. I recently updated my facebook status to say I am an allusion, but life, as we know it, is really the allusion (def: 1. a passing or casual reference; an incidental mention of something, either directly or by implication). What we see is not all there is, and I often refer to the defficiencies caused by perspective, but to be honest, no individual realizes, or sees, the allusions around him and is even deficient in his own perspective- that is, to say, that not even his supposed portion is realized.
Sometimes I jot down notes; incomplete thoughts; or meditations. They seem to help when I'm at a crossroad. Here is what I found today:
To what end is a life lived (truly a relavent question)
Sometimes you have to step with faith, knowing that in faith there is doubt. (in this the difference between knowledge and the path)
truth matters.
it could be as simple as it reads (on scripture passages that tend to cause me mental anguish)
God shouldn't be a force in your life. Your life should be a force for God.
As the Christian calendar turns over here in the next week or two with the beginning of advent, I have decided that I will go over the texts for each sunday beforehand and write a short passage of meaning (nearly a sermon [but shorter] for I am not an ordained minister). I think this a good goal and have already written most of the passage for the first sunday in advent. The texts will come from those used in LCMS churches and found on the LCMS.org website (truly difficult to navigate). I will copy them word for word without omission. If any of my readers would like to share with others, that is fine. And any comments or advice is always welcome.
