Taste and See!

While picking some of the last remnants of blueberries with my dad, the topic of favorite fruits arose. Peaches. Blueberries. Mangos. Oh yeah! Mangosteen. My dad asked what it was like. I attempted to describe it. What it looks like. What it tastes like: the first taste is slightly sour which reminded me of a huckleberry. Then it is sweet. The flavors then overwhelm your taste-buds and there is no way to explain the intense flavor! I realized that my attempt was futile. There is no word-picture that could describe it. There was only one way that my dad could understand why I love mangosteens! He must eat one.



"O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him." (Psalms 34:8)


A dynamic speaker can tell us about Him. A gifted writer can inscribe how they got to know Him. A beautiful musician can sing how much they love Him. A caring teacher can explain how to draw close to Him. Listen. Read. Does that mean we know Him? No, we must experience Him ourselves.

Lifeline!

Well friends,

I decided to join the blogging world again. It has been a few years since I was a part of it, so we'll so how this goes. :)

On this blog, you will find posts that are funny, sad, serious, and thought-provoking. I will be putting into words a few of the many things that God teaches me every day: from nature, from people I meet, from conversations I have, from activities I do, and from things I study.

Lifeline: what are you connected to? Jesus is the one who keeps my heart beating, my lungs breathing, my feet running, my lips smiling. He is everything to me. I don't know what I would do without Him. I hope that this blog puts a smile on your face and a song in your heart!
