well, this has been quite the year...I was sitting here musing this evening on how Blaise Pascal, a poem about a Chambered Nautilus and connect the dots can have anything remotely in common...and yet, they can.

We have had so many changes over the last year, so many heart responses to a loving Heavenly Father and even greater desires to be with Him and love Him, can the heart truly be at rest here in this state...and yet I know it can and does, when it is resting in God's will for that heart for that moment in time, even if it patters a little faster, the blood flowing a little stronger in response to the idea of being with that Perfect One, in that perfect place...someday...someday....but now, we are to work for Him, take pleasure in Him, take pleasure in what He entrusts to our care and be happy. 

And I am.

So how do old musings by some dead guy, a poem by some dead guy and a connect the dots have anything in common...I will have to think some more on this and get back to this essay topic later, but trust me, they do.
