Finally, a second post

I'm still trying to figure all this blog stuff out. I mean, do people really care what I have to say about anything? I'm not really sure, but I guess because I care what others have to say, maybe somewhere along the line others will care what I reflect on, muse about or just simply spout off because I like to talk.

I like the opportunity to have a creative outlet to share some of these things, but the truth is I don't know that I am disciplined enough to regularly write something on this site. Right now, I am just amazed at my own insignificance and the incredible significance of God. I think those things go together. We try to avoid them- I mean we try to avoid the truth that in the great scheme of things we really are insignificant. Outside of a few people in my life, my family and friends, no one really cares what I think or who I am. My life hasn't really amounted to anything- really. I haven't saved anyone's life, I haven't done any great humanitarian deeds, I am not really sure I have been a very good follower of Jesus nor do I think that I am the greatest husband or father in the world.

Now, don't get me wrong. I have a healthy amount of self-esteem and I like my life and myself. It's just that quite honestly, I am insignificant. Which makes it all the more amazing that the God of the universe knows my name. That he cares about every little detail of what I am involved in. That nothing is too big or small for him to pay attention to in my life. How incredible is that.

That all really says way more about God than it says about me. It tells me the kind of God he is, and how great he always will be. I can really only find my significance when I realize how insignifican I am, how great he is and how much he loves me.

It's been a good day!

Nothing much

So, my friend Matt says that the hardest blog is the first one. This wasn't so tough!
