Little moments

Most of my life has been what seems to describe most Americans lifestyle these days, the over used word "busy". Someone ask how you've been "busy" one replies, how are things going -"busy", how's the home life - "busy", kids? - "busy". When did the term busy become an everyday common language used to describe our lives. How did it become so encapsulated with one simple word? Busy Just doesnt make sense to me. It appears that the whole world is to busy, everyone is too busy for friends, or family. All we seem to know is work. The race for success!! Is work honestly that satisfying that we know nothing else? In the background we are fading away from our true selves and becoming what we hoped we wouldn't be - endangered to the point of extinction. We only use social media forms such as text messaging, facehbook, and twitter to get our connection with others. Yes at times I see it has a point for networking and taking to multiple individuals once but what I've realized is that we are losing the ability to have conversations in real life, that we are unable to speak our minds in the here and now. We are becoming an isolated people. How perfect a plan to destroy unity, fellowship, and individuality. The plan to kill, steal, and destroy is coming into focus. I wonder in time what will really happen? Will we continue to travel down the unspoken path or at some point will the two paths cross? What we happen? As we live in the technology age more and more things are possible but are we trying to alleviate the need for God to create our own kingdom? Are we hoping that we will one day be the masters of this world? To think, the world was suppose to end 7 days ago, well it was predicted to end. How could this be? What are we doing? How will you make a difference in this life? How will I? Can it be done? Can we recover what was once lost? Is it to late? Is there still hope?
We shall see...

What it's like to wonder...

Often times I wonder what it's like. What it's like to me? What it's like to be you? What it's like to not know? You ever stumble through life looking for the right door to enter? You ever wonder what it's like to cross through that door and be on the other side? You ever wonder what it's like to not take that opportunity because you were to afraid to fail? Always wanting to know you'll succeed in life, at the things you try you hand to? Ever wonder it's like to fail? You ever wonder why you wonder? We say that cliche "curious as a cat, but are not humans the ones that are more curious? We seek to 'know' all that we can. We want to be masters of our lives. We want to know that the future is certain. Ever wonder what happens when it's not? Do you ever wonder what other people think? Do you ever wonder what people really know? Do you ever wonder if people are who they really say they are? Do you ever wonder what it's like to be free? You ever wonder what it would like to live in the days of old? Do you ever wonder if God exist? Do you ever wonder if he really does care? Do you ever wonder what it's like to know the one who created it all? Do you ever wonder what will happen if you don't? Do you ever wonder if heaven or hell is real? Do you ever wonder what it will be life when the world ends? Do you ever wonder why I wonder why you wonder about wonder?

Thank you for taking the time to be curious with me and wonder about wondering!
