You know when people ask you how you are or what's new and you conjure up something that sounds semi productive or interesting? Then later you circulate the question in your mind to your own mind and regurgitate the question...."How HAVE I been??...What IS new with me?" Then we get frustrated, disappointed, depressed, to some degree that we actually are aware of our empty existence. No? No one else, this just happened to me before? Well the point of this blog is not to wallow in sorrow of a life filled with a vacuous lack of meaning. Quite the antipode actually. Rather recently I have taken notice of the fact that when someone asks me a question such as stated above, I have a profusion of good news, interesting happenings, and divine encounters. As so many of the other situations in my life now, this is the first time in my life that such a state of being has occupied residency with me. In previous times, I always wished that I had more scintillating nuggets of news when anybody would ask me a simple question of person interest. Now it seems as though I never have enough time to accommodate such a broad question with a fitting answer. But then again, I guess the majority of individuals that ask those questions never really care about an answer do they? At one point, that fact bothered me. Now...I'm just beautifully satiated in the authenticity and ebullient vivacity of my answer, SHOULD anyone ask me. Now of course, the next linear question would be "Well...what caused this shift from laconic, automated answers to spirited, passionate explanations?" I hate to be cliche. REALLY hate to be one of THOSE. But try your very best to shed the cliche scales from your ears if only to consider this one indubitable, bona fide truth: Jesus. Who else would be responsible for this passion but the One who created passion to begin with?
