What is More?

I'm certain of at least one thing that defines our human condition: the search for more. This search manifests itself in different ways. For some it is found in more possessions. For others it is more knowledge. For many the search has manifest itself in faith. We who are believers are confident that in God there is more. More grace, more love, more forgiveness, more acceptance, more welcome...more. Out of the gifts that we have been given there also comes a call for more. To be more, to give more, to love more, to serve more...more.

So what is more?

More is a journey. Looking for ways and means to answer the call with the gifts we have been given. A journey that I want to continue to travel. More may be the musings of a shepherd, the rantings of a weary traveler, the cry from a heart that's pained, the vision of a prophet, or the struggles from someone who's looking for more.

Through it all my hope is that this will all lead to more:

More words of grace amongst all the other words spoken
More going to places where many refuse to go
More struggling with what we've been given
More reflecting and thinking
More conversation and insight

More

Will you journey with me?
