Focus

I don't know what is compelling me to write here... I have never fully understood the idea of a "blog". So, what is this about?

I guess it is because I am weak and everyone else is "doing it". :)

I have recently attained some goals that were set years back and were anticipating a different feeling. I was expecting to feel as if I had "made it" or something and was disappointed to get "there" and realize that it was not really a place but a pit stop (not even) on the way. Why do we (as people) do that? Why do we think that some meaningless (perhaps that is a bit strong) milestones will have some great significance because we set them? I think that the only thing that this has taught me is that if I make sure that my eyes are set on something visible but far enough off in the distance to keep my head up that I will continue on but that if I allow my focus to be reached or attained as an end then I find myself arriving to find that I haven't arrived at all and felling as though I must fumble around until I refocus on that not so distant blip on the map that I can start trekking once again. Perhaps that is part of the idea with 1 Cor 9:24 when Paul states that lots run but only one wins (or gets the prize)... Perhaps the idea is to figure out how to find that blip to refocus on and then the next blip before you reach the first until we finish the race (whatever and whenever that may be). Or perhaps that is bologna and I am just rambling. Isn't that the idea of a blog though?
