I stand...

I stand at work watching those around me hoping to possibly tap into their story. Some are short, fat, skinny, old, young, and dead? Some smile as they pass while others act as though you didn't exist. Some smell really cheerful while others smell of smoke and booz usually followed with the frown. Enjoying life and all the fun things to be had, touched, and smelled you find most little ones. Adults go through the motions, tired and down. Where did we get lost? Where did we go from a world of imagination and exploration to a world of loneliness and sadness? A world where alcohol is sought after so heavily to relieve the agony you feel deep within you. The smiles you had have faded into a permanent frown and the most exploring you do is between work and your home. It's hard to live in a world where love is smothered by hate, guilt, and sadness. In a world that has seemed to have forgotten about the number one sacrifice and the ultimate love story. An innocent man convicted and sentenced to be crucified on the cross. John 15:13- Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
