I've looked for Him in the spectacular; I've found Him in the mundane--in the ordinariness of life

"If, as Herod, we fill our lives with things, and again with things; if we
consider ourselves so unimportant that we must fill every moment of our lives
with action, when will we have the time to make the long, slow journey across
the desert as did the Magi? Or sit and watch the stars as did the shepherds? Or
brood over the coming of the child as did Mary? For each one of us, there is a
desert to travel. A star to discover. And a being within ourselves to bring to
life."

the beginning...a very fine place to start

I'm on a quest to find my authentic self. It's a journey I've gotten very serious about since sometime around June--about the time I turned 44. It's funny how you hit a certain place in life and suddenly feel the need to evaluate your existence. That's where I'm at. I've come a long way since the summer, but I've still got a very long way to go. I thought I knew who I was and what I was all about. Come to find out, I was wrong. Sort of. I mean, I wasn't altogether wrong, it's just that there is much more to me than I'd ever stopped to consider.

There is freedom in truth. Truth sets us free. I'm sure that's why discovering who I really am in Him is so liberating. That is my authentic self. The me He created me to be.
