Beginning thoughts...

Yes, this is my first blog....I'm sure I could ramble on about that, but instead, here's a poem I've been thinking about today:

"Development"by St. John of the Cross

Once I said to God, "How do you teach us?"

And He replied,

"If you were playing chess with someone who had infinite power and infinite knowledge and wanted to make you a master of the game, where would all the chess pieces be at every moment?

Indeed, not only where he wanted them, but where all were best for your development; and that is every situation of one's life."
