Change and relevancy

I am musing...

about change and relevancy.

Wow! It is amazing how quickly the emotional landscape of our nation is able to change. Oh the effects of this digital age, of social media and of "real time" communication.

So on Thursday May 28th, I wrote a blog post.
It was called ....Musing about feeling groovy.
It was the result of a simpler time.
Life was slow. Yes, there was political controversy for sure, different Covid perspectives. There were heated emotions on the part of many regarding the potential back stories...or how the government was handling the situation.

But in my little hometown in the Midwest...things were pretty quiet. The virus was thankfully staying at bay and things were finally starting to "open up" and thus things were starting to look up.

I was looking forward to a socially distanced gathering on a dear friend's patio with friends the next day. The sun was shining. And the glory of new summer was reason to rejoice.

And then George Floyd happened. And a match was lit. This match had been laying there for generations among a book of matches. Some of the matches from this book had already been used trying to "shine a light" on a dark place in our country, and some of those used matches had  "burned" havoc and destruction.

But that said, just like that, my blog post of the previous Thursday seemed irrelevant.

The next post that came to my heart was of a clear different nature.
I went from "feeling groovy" to feeling heavy.

But with that heaviness has come an opportunity for introspection, reflection, repentance and prayer.

So...if you would like,
feel free to journey a bit, and reflect a bit.

And dream a bit!

(and to pray...alot!!)
