Why?

Why do we, after experiencing the undying, unconditional, unchanging love of our Lord, live a life unchanged by Christ's greatest sacrifice? I'm not sure. I began this online journaling endeavor a couple months ago (I refuse to think of myself as one who "blogs.") and kind of forgot that I had started it. Tonight, though, I began thinking about how deep the human being's need to be known is and it made me think about how I could allow others to know me and myself to be known, possibly through this journal. I thought about my own need to be known and how one time I read a quote, "To read is to know you are not alone." (I could have butchered that quote and have no idea who said it except to say it wasn't me.) The need to be known and the need to not be alone are needs that every one of us is in a desperate search to fulfill. Maybe through this journal of mine, you'll know that you are not alone.

Really, think about it. We cannot be LOVED unless we are KNOWN. And, we cannot be KNOWN unless someone spends time with us, listens to our words and dives into our hearts. So, I have created this online journaling endeavor. Hopefully, it will allow all of my readers, probably just my dedicated and loyal brother... Hey, Lee :) ...to know that they are not alone, that someone else might think like them, need like them, live like them and learn about and experience Love like them. It will allow me to search my own heart, learn how it should be changed by Love and probably experience a great journey on the way. That's probably a slightly optimistic hope for this endeavor, but we'll see. Feel free to comment on anything. I'd love to hear what you have to say so I can know... and love... you, too.
