Where'd You Go?

OK.  So it's quite obvious I'm not very good at this blogging thing.  It's been nearly 9 months since my last post.  I admit that keeping a journal is not really my thing.  But with all the changes occurring in my life, maybe it should be.

So here's to 2011.  The year of the blog!  For me anyway...

"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

There was a boy who grew up in the country.  A friend of his lived in the city.  One day, the
country boy went to visit his city friend.  As they walked the busy city streets, observing all the
hustle and bustle, the country boy suddenly heard a familiar sound.  He said to his city friend, “Can you hear that? Do you hear that noise?”  He looked around and then reached into a crack at the base of a nearby building and pulled out a little black cricket.

His city friend said, “That’s amazing! How could you possibly hear a cricket with all the
noise around here?”  The country boy said, “It’s not so amazing.”  Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of coins, flipped them into the air, and watched them land on the sidewalk.  As they hit the ground ringing and clanging, everyone near enough to hear the sound of the coins turned to look.  Then the country boy said to his city friend, “Hearing is not too hard. It just depends on what you’re listening for.”
