My Pariveda

First off Pariveda is supposed to mean "the pursuit of complete knowledge," but I'm still trying to figure that out.

My pursuit of complete knowledge looks like:
  • Reading lots of blogs on all kinds of stuff
  • Rarely reading a book other than a book in the bible
  • Reading a lot of the bible
  • Conversations with my community in small groups
  • Lots of googling and reading technical websites on work related things such as the provider pattern, the membership provider and the role provider. Typically a lot of Microsoft technology stuff.
  • Watching videos and webcasts online

The thing about the pursuit though is I enjoy it, but it's an insatiable thirst.

Discontent

Lately my heart has been discontent or perhaps disappointed.

Friday I asked if anyone wanted to go to the lake with me and much to my dismay, not a soul could. This inherently led me to question my life and where I was.

I wonder are we too busy these days to really live the lives we are meant to. This past week I put 60 hours in for the man and my wife put in 80. Are we to do this for the rest of our lives?

Sunday I rekindled my passion to touch lives and remembered God has me here for His glory. Yet I get so easily distracted with this world.

My heart yurns for the Lord to move and His heart yurns for me to move. God take from me what I need and provide me nothing but a strong faith in you.

I pray my life bring you glory above all else.
