Hello

Ramblings of a curious mind are what I am looking at doing. The older I get, the less life and human behavior make sense. In fact the more simplistic things appear. For example, I don't look at politics with any kind of passion any more. I look at the political scene as an arena of pure naked power. The place to exercise one's will over others. I will seek to record my observations of the world as I see it.

We are looking at new churches as we just moved to a new location. In our search we found one that appears to have a lot going for it. At a youth group meeting the other night I listened to stories about angelic visitations and grew tired.

I grew up a pastor's kid. We were fed on the miraculous and the mysterious. In fact it had a better ring of truth if it had those elements. I believe that God is a God of miracles, but I don't know why it is so hard to hear His voice in the ordinary. Is that not good enough? Matthew 12:39 says that "only a faithless generation would ask for a sign." I grew troubled about the proclaimation of visions. No, I guess not troubled. I guess I would have to say I grew tired.

I don't look for faith to be confirmed from the weird or out of the ordinary. I look for faith to be confirmed by what I read that God has promised. I look to be confirmed by experience and the love I feel from my God. I guess that's the only "sign" I need.
