the 7th day

I was thinking about the biblical 7th day. Maybe God's seventh day hasn't finished yet. Afterall, God's time is much different from ours because we are limited beings. I once heard that the end of the 7th day is the day when the Messiah returns. Regardless of the numbers of day, I trust that God has control of our time on Earth; for God has blessed the 7th day and made it holy.

A new beginning

There's always a first time for everything... this time is blogging. I always found that blogging is writing an online journal. However, I was never good at maintaining a journal/diary. I always have one to begin and never seem to ever reach the half-way mark. I just don't have the patience to write things down. Instead, I prefer to let my thoughts wander around. The good stuff, I write them on a piece of paper that I find lying around. I've written on napkins, space white between the church bulletins, behind receipts, on flyers, papers that I find in the recycling bin, etc.. You get my point. Just as long I have a pen, I would try to find paper.
