Welcome to REV'D

As I sat patiently watching a train pass I noticed that the majority of the cars had been “tagged” with graffiti. I began wondering why we humans feel so strongly that we must leave our mark on this world. What I came up with is it is because we need to let people know we were here.

Walking through a grave yard I noticed the dates on a tombstone; 1927-1990. For many the mark we leave is the dash between two dates.

Maybe that is what this blog is about . . . leaving my mark somehow.

How Good Are You?

Years ago I worked as a hairdresser. I have always been somewhat creative and artistic and that was a great vehicle to express my creativity while earning a living. I was a good hair cutter. I was better than most because I worked hard at perfecting my technique, I went to classes; I had tutors and teachers that were awesome with their skills. I thought I was really good until I saw how good the good really were . . . the great artists like Vidal Sassoon, Paul Mitchell, Jeanne Braa, Alan Benfield Bush and many more. When you are in the presence of greatness, you realize how elementary your skill set really is.

Today as a Christian I realize how small and insignificant I am in comparison to the men and women in the Bible and really small in contrast to Almighty God. I am glad today that recognizing our own smallness can cause us to embrace God's greatness. Great and Mighty is He!
