Life Can Be Deceiving

You know that song by Jack Johnson "Better Together"? Look it up if you haven't. There's the part that says, "Love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart, like Why are we here? And where do we go? And how come it's so hard? It’s not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together."
Is love really the answer to all the questions in my heart? It's has taken me a while to be able to answer that with a yes. It's a somewhat weak yes but it's there. You see, we all are looking for someone to love us, we're American, it's in our blood. But we often forget that more importantly we need to love ourselves. Not in the "O my heck, I'm so hot" sort of way, but more of an appreciation for what we have been given. I guess the things they say in church are true (go figure) you do have to look at things on an eternal perspective. Anyway, this is going to be a relatively short blog since it's my epiphany...an epiphany many of you probably had years ago.
