looking around
Looking around my office I notice the increasing number of books I have collected over the past 4 years. Many of these are "good books." At the same time I am thinking about how much I have read and at the same time forgotten. I'm feeling a bit used. I am feeling a bit manipulated, a bit controlled by my culture, a bit too distracted.

The books mock me. They display my very nature as "the total american consumer." What I (we) must look like from above? Busy little bee doing a whole lot of nothing fast. God save me(us), lead me(us) down that narrow path. Redeem this restlessness for your glory and the glory of your created world.
