I love all these, but my favorite today is the quote by C.S. Lewis…
And the picture made me catch my breath…it went right along with a scripture that ministered to me last night from Colossians 1:5 in the Message translation –
"The lines of purpose in your lives never grow slack, tightly tied as they are to your future in heaven, kept taut by hope."
Tethered to Him and taut with hope! Praise the Lord!

I don't have all the answers . . . I don't know why sad and bad things happen . . . I don't know what I think and believe on many days . . .
I do know I am curious . . . I know I search, quest, embrace . . .
I know I believe in truth, authentic, gentle, kindness, generous spirit . . . I am what I am . . .

I couldn't figure out what the picture was till I read the caption. Very good! It is a lovely visual of this thought.
