    Wednesday evening, November 13. It is the middle of the evening on the day in the middle of the week in the middle of November. And it feels like it.

    I am looking forward to December. I am planning a hiatus. I am planning a social sabbatical. By God’s grace, I am hoping to find some answers, and some new direction in life.

    I am in the middle of midlife, and every day I feel it- seconds ticking off, minutes rolling by, hours dropping behind me. I am yearning for direction. I am looking for something solid to plant my life into. I am hoping to make some changes of self that help me to live better. To live smarter. To live leaner.

    The future comes at us all, whether we are ready for it or not. What we do have is the daily decision about what to do with it.

    I am praying for the strength to make wise and hard and firm choices- choices that change the course of my life and the health of my heart.

    About

    A web programmer by day, I somehow still spend a lot of time thinking about relationships, God, and the significance of grace and love in daily events. I am old school in the sense that I believe in the reality of sin, and in the need of each human heart for deliverance to the Divine. I am one of those who believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that you can find most answers to life's pressing issues in Him and His Word, the Bible. I ain't perfect, and a lot of the time I ain't good, but by God's grace and kindness, I am forgiven and free.
