Today

I write because it is today, a day when I am supposed to write. No one cares, I suppose, about said rumination, especially since it is only to fulfill a task. And yet, tasks are committed to pull us forward, or in some direction.

There is always, always, the question of worthiness. Are all tasks equal in value? Hardly. 

Comes to mind the old word,  first heard from my beloved pastor during college years, G. R. French. He said, "Big people speak of ideas,  average people speak of events, small people speak of people." He was quoting someone. I took it to be true in the main, and still do.

Yet, many people are unable to speak of ideas, perhaps quite literally so, and we should not look askance at them. Nor do all who speak of ideas do so well, with clear-headedness, thoughtful rationale, devoid of fallacy or severe bias, etc. 

In a word, we need help with all kinds of talk, and writing blogs is no exception. I love ideas but such hardly makes me a "big person." (A too easy fallacy sticks its head in here. The pastor did not say all who speak of ideas are big, but that big people do it.)

The only answer for me, really, is prayer, though I easily and often fail it. Seek the living God, ask His presence, ask His forgiveness, ask for wisdom and good sense. Pray for your loved ones: yes, because they need this or that, but more because you need to learn to love them and praying for them is non-negotiable if you would be successful in that forever journey.

Enough for today. I fulfilled my task. No, not that task, my pesky writing goals. But the greatest gift of life,  i.e. to hear the call of God and to kneel in heart and life before Him.

I hope you will join in that eternal joy and pursuit.
