Obscurity

Obscurity marks journeys of the faithful. 

Not planned, necessarily. 

Or wanted. 

But purposeful in the work and way of the Lord.

Rumor

Social media fires up and spreads the latest controversy. Rumor and riot. Running viral through the internet. 

Conspiracy theories take on a life of their own. 

And the web confuses. Disorients with half-truths. Often hurtful and hateful.

Clear the clutter

The realtors come to look at our house. Consider its selling features. Advise on what we must do as we get ready to place it on the market. 

We know we need to clear the clutter. But their first comment? “You sure have a lot of books.”

A few books…

Why, yes. Yes we do. 

Then comes the directive.

“Clear out this bookcase and that one and that one.  Go ahead and pack those books. Store them out of sight.”
