Ahhhhhhhhh! A place to share my thoughts. Hmmm. How many people will even read this? I don't know that I care, I just like the idea of being able to type as I think and have it show up somewhere is kind of cool. I guess in some ways I have always been a bit of an exhibitionist, wanting everyone to know what I think, etc.

I guess the first thing I want to blog about is God! He is awesome (lame word, I know, but it should realy only be ascribed to HIM.) Actually, what word used to describe God would not be lame? It is impossible to accurately and entirely capture His essence with human language. People have been trying to do so since the beginning of time and it cannot be done. So why do I think I should try...it's probably just more noise in the chaos? I guess it is kind of selfish, I just need to!

Anyway, I was thinking the other day about God and how He loves us. Why He loves us and what that means. I don't know! And I can't begin to grasp how great His love is for us, me. all I know is that I come across people who don't have the slightest idea and it breaks my heart. I think the most basic need of human beings is love. Forget food, shelter and all that stuff. We need that but the human soul, the human spirit cannot survive without love. That is why people do some of the crazy stuff they do, they are looking to at least feel like they are loved by someone. The amazing truth is that they are and they don't know it. Either they have heard it and don't get it or they haven't really heard it. What am I telling people about how God loves them? Am I giving them rules to follow to figure it out or am I showing them how He sees them and loves them desparately! I hope that the later is true, that when I talk about God that people see how much He loves them, just as they are!
