Place

“Of all the places you’ve lived, which one is your favorite?” 

It was a casual conversation and a question I’ve been asked many times. Impossible to answer.

So I said the usual: “There’s something special about each one.”

But over the next days I reflected on the significance of place in our lives. What is it that lodges a certain location in our hearts and minds? 

And I began to notice place in God’s Word.

Temple

Extravagant. Magnificent. The temple and its building materials.

Enormous stones. 

Gold and polished bronze.

The dedication is a ceremony to end all ceremonies.

Restlessness

Restlessness rumbling. Grumbling. 

Surfacing from somewhere. Deep.

An itch to move stirs my search for other settings. 

Wondering if and when we’ll leave this place for another.
