Pondering the Concept of Home

Some lyrics for you because that's all I have in me for today. Switchfoot: This is Home "I've got my memories Always inside of me But I cant go back, back to how it was I believe now Ive come too far No I cant go back, back to how it was Created for a place I've never known This is home Now I'm finally where I belong, where I belong Yeah this is home, I've been searching for a place of my own, Now I found it, maybe this is home Yes this is home Belief over misery I've seen the enemy And I wont go back, back to how it was And I got my heart set on what happens next I got my eyes wide its not over yet We miracles, and were not alone Yeah this is home, now I'm finally where I belong Yea this is home, I've been searching for a place of my own, Now I found it, maybe this is home Yes this is home And now, after all my searching After all my questions I'm going to call it home I got a brand new mind set I can finally see the sunset I'm gonna call i...

The day has been filled to the brim with teaching children, and my back seat is filled with tiny ones telling exciting stories.

No one knew then that 20 years would come and go, and that boy I talked to after school for endles...

A Shift

“The books or the music in which we thought the beauty was located  will betray us if we trust to them; it was not in them, it only came through them, and what came through them was longing.   These things—the beauty, the memory of our own past—are good images of what we  really desire; but if they are mistaken for the thing itself they turn into dumb  idols, breaking the hearts of their worshippers.  For they are not the thing itself; they   are only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a country we have never yet visited.”  ―  C.S. Lewis ,  The Weight of Glory As humans we become obsessed with "What our life is supposed to look like". We imagine our lives will be beautiful and fragrant... and when it's not what we expected... we feel heart broken... or when it is more than what we could have hoped for... It's beauty becomes an idol... When our longings become self focused... the danger...
