"What seek ye?"

As a good investigator, one has to be interested in one thing and one thing only, finding truth. Why is discovering the veracity of a incident so essential? Is it not to correct where needed, reward where deserved and to protect where victimized? Christ Himself gave another reason which I feel has much more importance, depth and application. "The truth shall set you free." Is that not true? When we uncover and live by truth does that not set us free? Yet how many of us float along in life, never caring how the boat floats or how the current carries us? Yet we could be much more effective at avoiding dangerous water if we learned how those principles worked. The seeking of truth has to burn with in us! That brings me to the topic. "What seek ye?" This phrase was asked to some of the Apostles at the beginning of Christ's ministry. What kind of response to we give to this question? Will we answer with a shallow answer as they did or will we say teach me? But yet this question is not meant to be answered with words. It is meant to resonate from our hearts. What seek ye in your heart? What is your true intent? How often do you just take something at its face value and not really explore the depths of it? How often have you thought a situation was the way that it was and in the end you were wrong? We must create an environment in our souls where the passion for knowing truth can burn in our hearts. If we seek truth, it is hard to be deceived. Let us be wise investigators and consider all angles and positions. Let us upturn every rock and every possibility in our misunderstandings with others, and by this we shall show what we are really seeking.

embarking

Fairly recently I read a blog that inspired me. As I was reading this certain blog, a desire seemed to wash over me to begin my own blog. As I embark on a somewhat futile attempt to explain my feelings and thoughts in a manner that will inspire, stir and spur others to look at themselves, their lives and individual circumstances, my hope would be that both you and I are able to investigate our own lives, to view life through new lenses. I have named this blog "investigating life" in hopes that we can embark on a adventure as investigators of life, never passing by a friendship, never overlooking the small but very important blessings and at times putting to good use a magnifying glass so that we can appreciate the aw inspiring beauties of lighting, even in the most daunting, fear causing storms of our lives. It is also my hope that on this investigation of life, we are able to see the hand of God revealed in our lives, to take time and meditate on some of the profound things in life, such as the satisfaction of wonderful friends and of course the blessing of family. May God help us in this endeavor. Make it so!
