EVER MORE

The constant knowing, the predictable times when life is without drama or fantasies. And you get consumed by the inevitable boredom.

This is never what we hope. Nor is it what we desire. You can put any spin you want on rituals and other things done on a regular basis, but sooner or later they will have times they lose their luster.

Now to pretend that boring is not boring is other than profitable. Oh you might excuse it or a while, but sooner or later it will get to you.

It is fun to watch the movies make every person colorful. Doesn’t matter how dull they might seen at first sooner or later the writer will paint them as appealing.

This is not to say that it works this way in real life. I wish it did. But we just never get those times when it becomes what we want.

Now for me I think I am willing to accept that life isn’t going to always be full of smiles. And there are going to be quiet times.

But to set your mind on becoming something you are not doesn’t works either. See so many who try.

Course you don’t hear too many who make trying to get the Lord’s approval as their priority. Now that is the rarity.

Oh you do get those who will do it in a way to impress. They will always make it so exciting in their own interpretation.

Yet why they see that as necessary I’m not sure. For the life of faith isn’t always one that lends itself to such realities.

Doesn’t mean it has to be boring either. Just that it needs honesty. Sure hard to find at times.

Wish that wasn’t the case. I don’t think I will ever appreciate the joy of trying to massage the truth in that sense.

Oh it happens every day with life. So many commercials are the carrot we are supposed to crave.

But with the Lord, He is who He is. And trying to paint Him differently never does accomplish much.

Other than leave questions. Ones that we never end up answering. Just finding out the don’t become our view of reality.
