Once upon a time...

Every good story book starts with "Once upon a time..." or at least something to that effect. We exist inside of time, restricted by the moment and living here and now. Looking ahead is mere conjecture. Looking behind, reminiscing. Here is where we exist. Here can be a place full of love, joy and peace. By peace, I mean the peace that moves beyond the situation to the place where there is faith that the resolution will be the best possible. I strive toward that place. That place where there is no past, everything washed away. That place where there is no care for the future. The place where the moment is so filled with love that there is no where else I would rather be. I see my past and wish I had chosen differently, but realize that it is key to who I am. Who am I? Well, once upon a time... I met Jesus, and nothing has been the same.
