Capturing All There Is – Opening Thoughts

Greetings Dear Reader,

My dear friend Lori posted a note about things to do in coming year that would make the year better.  That started a think worm for me that has led to pondering on how I will practically work out the things I desire to accomplish.

Since my desire for Route 366 is to maximize my ability to follow Christ in all that I do, I must assure that I consider every area.   I must plan the word and work the plan.  I must also assure that I plan with an eye to God completely laughing at those plans. 

As the think worm was working away at my subconscious I was discussing Pokémon with my elder Grandson, Orion.   He was explaining that you had to capture all of them to win the game he was playing.  This was a made up game using small figures he had received as a gift.  The rules were fluid and always in his favor.

The think worm connected Lori’s post and the Pokémon theme of “You got to catch them all” into a way to categorize my thinking about finding practical ways to live out my overreaching desire.  In the next few days as I return to my “normal” activities I want to walk through practical ways to capture all there is in the various areas of my existence.

I know where I want to be and am unsure how to get there.  I have been slowed by the difficulties of the last year.  Some of the energy required to stay focused on my efforts was channeled at maintaining through the challenges.   I realize I will be where I am for longer than I wish.  I will stay until I learn what I must.

As I work my way through capturing all that I can on this route feel free to make suggestions and observations.   Your company Dear Reader will be something I treasure in every aspect of my journey.  Your assistance as friend and good counsel is ever valuable to me.  I know where I am headed and perhaps I can work out how to get there with less pain and more alacrity. 

The Long and Winding Road – The Beatles

The long and winding road

That leads to your door

Will never disappear

I've seen that road before

It always leads me here

Lead me to your door

The wild and windy night

That the rain washed away

Has left a pool of tears

Crying for the day

Why leave me standing here

Let me know the way

Many times I've been alone

And many times I've cried

Any way you'll never know

The many ways I've tried

But still they lead me back

To the long winding road

You left me standing here

A long long time ago

Don't leave me waiting here

Lead me to your door

But still they lead me back

To the long winding road

You left me standing here

A long long time ago

Don't keep me waiting here

Lead me to your door

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Wishing you joy in the journey,
