Faith.
Faith is knowing what you do not see. Believing what you cannot know.
Faith has never been a problem for me. I've always known that God has been there, a part of my life and I've never had a doubt about His existance. I've been lucky that way. But life has it's way of breaking down that connection, where knowing and doing meet. It's when you take things for granted and assume that the relationship is one way or that it doesn't need to be taken care of and nurtured. It's when the noise from all around you not only drowns out the whispers of God, but also leads you to forget to have the conversations at all. I've been thinking all week about what to post on this blog and I realise that I really don't have much to say. My faith is intrinsic and as with all things intrinsic, it's difficult to articulate. I will endeavour however to do this. Life be darned, it's time to start talking again.

When is Packrat going to post? Your brudder ask one.
My comment is: "YES! Quiet time is the best time of the day. As you know in our household those 2 words almost never coincide. But now the kids are asleep -- it's midnight -- diapers are put on, and I am reading Genesis 24, about how Eleazar the servant of Abraham has to go and find a suitable wife for his master's son, Isaac. And how Rebekah fetched 150 bottles x 10 of water to quench the thirst of the camels."
I wonder if God ever put me to the test that way without my ever realising it, but it was a fleece set out by someone, like your bro. Wouldn't it be freaky if you just felt like wearing a bright yellow sweater tomorrow because Packrat asked God "If I am to buy her a bag of kanas today, let her wear a bright yellow sweater this morning."
