I have a thousand and nothing things to say. That happens when life gets in the way of the pondering. However, today i found that there is a Lincoln fan club, that all his documents and thoughts are being transcribed by volunteers who are fascinated by him. As it is that time in American Literature where we cover his words, I too am drawn to him and his ways.
Do I think that in 100 years from now someone will read my thoughts and receipts, wondering in awe that I paid 1.74 for a fina bean and cheese burrito on their birthday? ha no. Even if there are those who do so for Lincoln.
I would hate that to happen in my lifetime (as I blog inner workings).
To sum up today- I've been thinking about a student and his family-more specifically how and why they are dealing with such a overwhelming trial of physical loss. Even though I know it is the student's trial, I find myself draw to the thoughts of the mother and her trial.
I have started reading articles and a path of study on trial: the why, the because and the how. I am not sure I can even express my thoughts nore want to in a deep way.

I just know that I hope I can learn to be Christ like without facing huge trials.I would like to submit to the Lord's will with trials that are not so hard like Job or Abraham. I doubt that I will get that wish.
