Lazy days

No excuses...I've been lazy this summer.
It seems when I have a thought to share, I am too tired to put it to paper.
I've been thinking a lot about letting go. I put my son on a plane today for China. He's going to Xiagong to teach English for 10 months. An adventure for sure.



I was thinking about letting him head off (letting is not the right word, as he's 26), and thinking about how Mary had to "let go" of Jesus. Truth is, He was never really hers, he was on loan. Same with Matt. He's always been God's gift to me...on loan, to raise, as Mary did Jesus. Matt is gone, but not far away, thanks to email, facebook, blogs and skype.

And it's the same with Jesus. He's gone, but He's near. Difference is, Jesus is also HERE...with us. Look around...see His handiwork. Sing a praise song...worship Him with your voice. Read His love letters to you...the Bible.

I know I'm rambling...thanks for allowing me to do so.
