Friday Foraging

Foraging: To obtain by hunting or searching about.

That's what I've been doing.

Foraging.

I wasn't inspired this morning to post anything so I started checking out the usual blogs.

I have stated in previous posts that I'm completely satisfied with where I am in life. There is no point to which I would like to return.

But this morning, in reading the current post of Busy With The Boys, I decided that if there was one thing I could change about my past, it would be the access to home computers and blogging!

I know without a doubt that if I had experienced the sharing of ideas, problems, tragedy, happy times, unhappy times, and the multitude of other emotions and conflicts of life, with other understanding people, I would have had a richer, more abundant life.

Young writers have a vast opportunity that was unheard of in my younger years. Relationships are built among complete strangers, reaching out for advice, giving advice when needed, and obtaining unconditional friendship and love.

Even as God was admonishing the Israelites when He said in Isaiah 43:18-19 to "forget the past, look to the future...I have a new life for you (paraphrased); He knew right then of the coming of a technological computer age that would revolutionize his kingdom.

I pray that God keeps the fingers of these young people nimble and their minds clear so that they can continue reaching out, touching, and changing lives.
