Sometimes…

Sometimes I take pictures with my phone of random things like this weed growing in the Meijer parking lot.

Sometimes I don't have my phone with me (most of my running) and I really wish I'd had it.

Sometimes I see things and don't think I have time to stop.

Sometimes I fail to notice things I should.

Sometimes I wish I'd never gotten a smartphone at all.

Sometimes I think technology is evil.

Sometimes I wonder what the world is going to be like in 5, 10, or 100 years.

Sometimes I wonder if it will even last.

Sometimes I worry about the world we're leaving our kids and grand kids.

Sometimes I can barely make it through the day.

...and, yet...

Sometimes I see a random weed growing up in a parking lot and stop to look at it.

Sometimes things like this give me hope.

Sometimes I wonder if God really is at work still today, among us.

Sometimes I wonder if there hasn't always been "new" technology, and somehow we make it through. 

Sometimes I marvel at how much my kids and grand kids are just like we were.

Sometimes I smile when I recognize just how incredible they really are.

Sometimes I pray they will soon learn to relax and slow down.

Sometimes I walk through the valley of doubts.

Sometimes I rest in green-tea pastures.

Sometimes I'm stopped in my tracks by a simple beauty.

I take a picture of it on my phone,

and am at peace.
