Don't give up

Make a list of your dreams, and sometimes it occurs to you that some seem impossible. I have not wavered in wanting to write a Pulitzer (some piece of literary work that would help and bless others), a desire to complete my sequel to The Brighter Side of A Darker Thing (WestBow Press), and my desire to finish and publish the first book of my fantasy fiction book series.

Yet I do believe all of the above is possible. I also wonder if all of that is in my Creator's book of things for me to do, or if there is something else.

Sometimes I think we just complicate life, forever pursuing our "higher purpose," when it seems that really, our higher purpose is just doing life in the ordinary and trying to be a blessing.

The world, I feel, is all caught up in the "show" of things. The glitzy, shiny, perfect, filtered.

The icons, idols, etc. captivate the hearts and minds of mankind.

What if we really were meant to be ordinary?
