And yet............
That which I need the most, and seek the hardest, and find elusive are qualities and gifts for which there are no easy fixes, no apps (free or otherwise) which will give me what I need. The Scripture is on the iPad, but I still have to read it and absorb it. The timer on my phone reminds me to be still and know God, but if I turn it off without responding or sit for a requisite time without letting go - nothing. Though I am not on Facebook, I know many who are; "liking" Jesus is not the same as having a heart open to love.
The essentials in life still (and always) will require us to be hunters and gatherers; will still want our hearts and minds and souls; will still be the only way to change our lives.
Several of you tell me, often, that you read and appreciate this little blog. I am glad. But it's not enough. We say around here "All means all". That means all are welcomed and loved; but it also serves as a reminder that to acknowledge being a child of God and to follow in the way of Love and Mercy and Justice requires nothing less than All as well.
There is no app for that..........
