Quick fix

So you know you're new to this blog world when you put up a post, and then your whole layout looks completely different!!!

This is an attempt to try and get it back to normal!

So enjoy the Van Gogh painting until the next post!

See you at the pole!

I ran across this post on another blog I frequent (and highly recomend), and thought it worth referencing and linking. You know, as a Christian, I do lament the overall attitude towards approaching others concerning faith and life - namely, I wait for them to come to me. I love and need to hear more stories like this, to break me out of that rut.

Check it out!

Earl morning Tidbit to Chew On

"We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship."
--C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

I personally feel somewhat starved for true friendship, especially considering the upcoming life stage and transition I find myself in (going back to school in St. Louis with a family of 4), but is it related to my lack of nourishment on solitude, silence, private and meditation?

Does our ability to connect meaningfully with our selves have anyting to do with our ability to connect meaningfully with others?
