Monday, June 16

and until then...

Tonight I'm not overwhelmed by questions and contradictions, but find myself peaceful and simply observing their presence in my head and my heart. Somehow tonight I feel unconcerned and carefree in spite of them.

We are all waiting for something, no matter who we are or what situation we're facing. I have to believe that a time is coming - maybe not so far off - when I will have fewer questions and more answers and more peace about the things I dwell on right now. History proves this, and faith bolsters my confidence. It helps to just acknowledge that the time is not yet, but will come. That I am still in the midst of many things, but will at some point emerge. It is quite alright with God that I can't see with perfect clarity or think with logical or linear precision about issues. He knows and He loves. Now is the perfect time for faith and peace and trust to reign. And they do.

Today's important lessons:

don't roast coffee beans to 490 degrees - they will be too toasty and set off the alarm.

father's day sermons about fathers were never intended to interest non-fathers.

it's better to be humble than proud.

a surprising amount of happiness can be found in autistic children and excursions to the grocery store.

"naan bread" sounds confusingly like "non-bread" to a listener.

i am worth dying for. so are you.
