Reflections on Time and Space

When I started this blog back in 2009 one of my main focuses was on time and space. The title of the blog reflects this. I realized as I moved forward that the blog kind of morphed into a reflection of the times in which we all live. Many of us have suffered over the past eleven years. I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that it's been that long.

I met a lot of people during the time I was gainfully employed in Center City. I learned a lot of hard lessons which I incorporated in a yet unfinished novel. I remember the huge novel that I started while working for one place back in 2003. I did finish that one, but have left it on the "shelf." My writing had taken a turn by 2011. I decided to take my mom's advice and write about something I knew. I decided to write about my hometown. The book sold well for the first few months but sales dwindled after that time.

When I reflect on the people I've met because of the book I realize that I've been blessed. So many would have wallowed in despair but I didn't. I marveled at the history I was learning and felt blessed. I know I wouldn't have met these people any other way. My eyes have been opened to the rich historic treasures we have here in abundance.

I heard a lot of rumblings about government control. I've experienced it. Yet I can honestly say that I wouldn't be where I am without some government control. I grant that I'm leery about the direction the government is taking now. It doesn't seem right somehow to force someone to do something they feel strongly against doing. I wonder at how the world will be like for my little nieces and grand nephew.

When I reflect on God I realize that I am in the right place in his divine plan. He does hold me in the palm of his mighty hands. I don't have to stress about the condition of our country or what is going on. I can rest because he has control of both time and space.

I do stand in awe of the Lord's power. I know I can trust him in all things. He is the Alpha and the Omega. He guides me through troubled waters. Someday I will stand on that far shore where the pain is no more and rejoice to see him welcome me home.
