Well, it has been a while since I have written, mostly because of how life sometimes distracts us and time seems to get away. Perhaps even more interesting is that it is life that awakens us from this distraction. Hmmm. Maybe that could be something to talk about at a later time.
Anyway, I have again been made aware, just by conversations with others, how much of a need there is for us to know who we are. As Christians living in this pluralistic society it is of a certain import for us to "know who we are" and "who we are to be". Now I am really talking about every type of searching there is to find a "self-awareness". However most of the methods employed to find this "self-awareness" results in exactly what it says it is "self-awareness", which doesn't sound bad, but then again neither did eating of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Read it again, "self-awareness", why do we strive to become more aware of our own self when that is the process that got us into trouble in the first place. To truly know who we are we need to become aware of who God has made us to be.
