Writing and Transformation

I love to write because writing is the transformation of my ideas and feelings into a format that other people can read and understand. It clears my head and helps me to think. It also gives me perspective on my own problems because sometimes I can see through my writing how flawed I really am. Each time it's an experience that changes me, and I long for those moments. 

Sometimes writing even scares me because I don't know what ideas or beliefs I'll have at the end of what I write, but that's just fine because if I feel unsure about an idea I can just write more things and eventually I come to a solution.

The transformation of ideas within me changes me, and some of those who read it feel that change too. I like that a lot.

Observations of Light

I love to watch as the sunlight filters through my windows in the morning, filling the empty darkness with soft, clear light. Have you ever sat in the place where the light lands when it streaks through the window and observed it as it enters? If you sit and watch for long enough, you'll begin to notice the dust particles that float like little ships on a sea of air, ships like unto shadows; only visible in the direct sunlight. Once I waved my hands violently through the sea of light and a tsunami ensued, throwing the little ships this way and that beneath the terrible winds of my hands.
Sometimes dust can look like stars too if you can catch it right, though dust produces no light of itself. It makes me think that perhaps the stars in the sky don't produce light of their own so much as they reflect the light of the Creator.

The Union - a Poem of New Beginnings

Once there was a blogger with too many blogs,

He knew not quite what to do.

For he loved each one dearly and wrote on them all,

In the heights of his visions they grew.

So one day he took them and made them all one,

He lost not a post from any.

And now all his dreams are kept in the same place,

Come check one out, there are plenty!

Change in the Church of Christ

We need not worry about changes which are made in the Church of Christ, for this Church has a history of change. Moses, for example, was given a lower law and Christ, years later, repealed that law. If God could have His way, I believe that He would only give one law to mankind, which law is, “Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, might, mind and strength”. Because of mankind’s inability to understand this one overarching law, however, God gives us lower laws to help us understand that one law better. Thus, the lower laws may be adjusted to meet the needs and understanding of the people for whom they are written. We are those people, and are members of the Restored Church of Christ, and yet we still do not understand that one important law. Therefore, we should expect change still. There will always be change until we live the law.
