I’m flipping through my Moleskine. I’m finding sentences and paragraphs that have the potential for posts but haven’t found 300 words yet. I’ll let you fill in the words.

• The good news of Easter is that it is more like the 4th of July than Groundhog Day.
• If we want to fill every nook, every cranny, we have to be, I have to be, intentional.
• Early Sunday morning, the convertible drove into the sunrise. It was one of the first mornings warm enough to drive with the top down. He looked like a guy in a commercial – independent, a loner. But I realized that he wasn’t alone. I was watching. Just like in all the commercials and movies that create the image of the loner  there are cameras and audiences. Without an audience a loner is just lonely. Even loners need community.
• I’ve often heard a chair used as a metaphor for faith: “You know how you trust a chair? You have to actually sit in it. You depend on the legs to work, the glue to hold. There is faith involved. That’s what faith in God is. You have to let go, sit down.” I’m starting to detest that metaphor. The way I trust my friends is different than the way I trust chairs. In my trust for a friend, I can go to very scary places, I can be rescued from scary places, I have have delight in the interaction. In a chair, I sit. A chair is predictable. Trust isn’t. And that’s a good thing.
• I watched a webfomercial for 45 minutes. It was about the coming economic apocalypse. The presenter kept saying that he would tell us what to do. Finally, it was clear. We should buy his book. That would solve his apocalypse. I wasted that 45 minutes.
