First, a random thought that has nothing to do with this post.

I was driving around today with the windows down and the stereo playing some good music. The fall colors were spectacular and the sky was filled with big puffy white clouds. I couldn’t help but think that my personal heaven could be a long winding road through the country side during the fall. Just an endless colorful path filled with gentle curves, cool breezes, and good music.

End of random thought.

The last few month have been extremely stressful for me. Changed jobs, new responsibilities, and other stuff that I’m not going to get into. Putting things into perspective hasn’t been real easy either. To say the least getting a grip on things has been a bit tougher than I would have liked it to be.

All these things have forced me to reevaluate how I’ve been living and what’s important to me. Don’t get me wrong I haven’t been living horribly or anything like that, but I’ve been kind of just sailing along not paying attention to the path I was on. Not noticing the signs. Not listening to what I know was right. I feel fairly lucky that I woke up in time to apply the breaks before slamming into the wall.

Faith
I’ve struggled with the idea of God for years. Well, that is to say I simply chose to be ignorant on the subject and close my eyes to anything that might bring me around to a better understanding. I’m still struggling. However, I feel like God has been talking to me. I’ve started to listen. To learn. I don’t own a soap box yet and I’m not running off to save the world with some profound new knowledge, but it’s a start in the right direction. All that I can really say is that I pray a lot more than I use to.
