Journey

Are you ready to take a trip? Lots of people are traveling for spring break, some are still thinking about it, others (myself included) have made no plans and probably have little desire / intent to go anywhere. But that's not the kind of journey I was talking about.

I'm talking about the journey inside you ... the kind of quest that is both honorable and leads to a better you (or at least a better understanding of you!)

Have you read any good books lately? I've read a few books ... and they've all been good. Anne Rice is next on my list, or maybe I'll re-read Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert. Some of the best pages of fiction I've ever written are contained in that book. Hmmm ... a story about a reluctant messiah. Sounds a lot like a Richard Bach book. Can't think of the title.

I find a lot of spiritual references in books and music ... maybe that's why I at least have an interest in personal development.

Today at church it was an interesting homily on the transfiguration that spoke to me. The priest reminded us that sometimes we fail to see the glory/grace of God because of all the distractions. I have to agree with that. I know that so many of us are tremendously busy leading our lives and shaping the lives of the people around us. We just need to be reminded to see God in all of that. It's a great chance to be reminded of the child of God that we all are.

God bless you. All of you.
