• It seems that our days are increasingly filling up with busyness. Generally, I think that is good; it helps with the transition here. It helps me to not become too introspective.
  
  "The solid earth is a rolling ball....Tides move the seas, winds stir the airy ocean, friction wears the rock; change and death rule everywhere....Men are born but to die; everything is hurry, worry and vexation of spirit. Friend of the unchanging Jesus, what a joy it is to reflect upon Thy changeless heritage...We seek an abiding city....
  We shall not be disappointed."
  ~ C. Spurgeon
  
  Yes, we all have that longing for "settledness", for permanency,
  for something of lasting value.
  
  "All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full. To the place from which the rivers come, to there and from there, they return again." Ecc 1:7
  
  Perpetual change points us to look at that which will remain.
  
  "...Looking forward to the city which has fixed and firm foundations,
  whose Architect and Builder is God." Heb 11:10
  
  "[We look to] the Father of all light....in whom there can be no variation
  or shadow cast by His turning." Js 1:17
  
  As activities increase in our new place of residence, I'll keep looking
  to the One Who never changes and promises me a sure home.
  
  This amused me. Yes, that is my crew.
  
  
  
  "At home" on precarious footing:
  
  
  
  I love the setting sun -
  
  
  
  ...and what it creates.
