Do you ever feel like you're on a merry-go-round and can't get off? That used to be the question!!! Today it feels more like a merry-go-round in hyper speed launched into the atmosphere!
I found myself looking for a cassette deck recently.... NO WHERE TO BE FOUND! Here's the really crazy part. Cd's are fastly becoming a thing of the past. I feel like life has become this 3 speed turbo vac (like the cool ones at the car wash) sucking me in and I am hangin on by my fingernails.
Change is good. Stagnation is unhealthy. But is there a rate of change that is potentially harmful? Could it be that we are not wired for warp speed? Am I just naive? Is this what mid-life does to a guy?
I love diversity and a fresh approach but I also see the value in constants! I see the value in family traditions, laws, and absolute truth. it is good for road names to remain the same. I t is good to have a tree in your yard for 30 years.
One of my greatest fears (and they are o-plenty) is that the greatest constant of our era is constant change. May we not get so addicted to change that we forget to embrace the beautiful constants of life.

Breath....
A smile...
Hardship endured and overcome...
Eye contact...
Creation...
Laughter...
Tears...
In the midst of an accelaration stuck society... what's your beautiful constant?
Be careful, be still.
"Be still, and know that I am God;
Psalm 46:10
