A snap from our Alaska trip a few years ago.
Random Rambling Thoughts…
This morning, I write as fog engulfs our surroundings.
Fog represents the mysterious side of life.
You know it’s there, but you can’t feel it.
You can walk through it, albeit with a bit of apprehension from afar because you can’t see the other side.
When you walk through it, the distant shore is not distant.
Kind of like life.
We wait and ponder whether or not to do something.
The fog of the unknown casts a shadow on our confidence.
Those who understand fog is not a barrier but simply a mist that adds to the unknown nature of things progress quite well in life.
Those whose souls become overwhelmed with the mystic nature of fog live life in place; they never move on.
Comfort is their vision, action, and purpose.
There is no progress in comfort.
Progress has comforted us in many ways, shapes, and forms.
But comfort gets us nowhere.
I choose the fog as my guide, leading me to places I’ve never journeyed.
And more importantly, clarity always awaits on the other side of the fog.
This is a picture from this past February when we drew peace from a beautiful sunset looking out over the Gulf between Longboat Key and Anna Maria Island.
I can’t imagine what the people affected by Hurricane Helene must feel. We’ve visited the Gulf side of Florida, where the heaviest damage has occurred several times over the years, specifically Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island, and Siesta Key.
I am a member of all three of their Facebook groups, and the devastation is unlike anything I’ve seen before.
We also have friends whose lives have been turned upside down in the Asheville, North Carolina area.
Two things I’ve witnessed from those living in those areas are faith and resilience, both key ingredients in fighting through the dark times of life.
Please pray for all of these people.
James 4:14m “Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.”
Isaiah 30:21, “And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.”
