Blogging Debut

This is my blogging debut.  There are a plethora of reasons why one might blog, and I guess mine stems from my deep need for impact, from the internal realization that to just live for oneself isn’t really living at all.  I have a need for others and for others to need me, and we all need God.  So this is my feeble attempt to reach out into the world and give a little bit of me, and hopefully more of God.  And in the words of Steven Curtis Chapman:

              More to this Life   

Today I watched in silence as people passed me by,
And I strained to see if there was something hidden in their eyes;
But they all looked at me as if to say
Life just goes on.

The old familiar story told in different ways,
Make the most of your own journey from the cradle to the grave;
Dream your dreams tomorrow because today
Life must go on.

But there’s more to this life than living and dying,
More than just trying to make it through the day;
More to this life, more than these eyes alone can see,
And there’s more than this life alone can be.

Tonight he lies in silence staring into space,
And looks for ways to make tomorrow better than today,
But in the morning light it looks the same;
Life just goes on.

He takes care of his family, he takes care of his work,
And every Sunday morning he takes his place at the church;
And somehow he still feels a need to search,
But life just goes on.

But there’s more to this life than living and dying,
More than just trying to make it through the day;
More to this life, more than these eyes alone can see,
And there’s more than this life alone can be.
