The search is on...

I have always been fascinated with metal detectors. The thought of combing a beach for buried treasure thrills me. The adventure of hearing the quickening tempo of the beep, beep, BEEP! The excitement of reaching my fingers into the wet sand, feeling a smooth object...

Life is an extended treasure hunt. Some have given up in exasperation. They have found nothing of value and give up searching. Others are still on the hunt, prowling diligently for something buried beneath the surface. They dream of something more meaningful than the 9 to 5 grind of life. Others have found valuable treasure and seen their lives transformed, and call out for others to join them at their treasure cove.

Put me in the last category. Over two decades ago I found treasure that changed my life. It is not a genie in a bottle. It has no financial price tag. It is not something I can manipulate or control. It is beyond me. I seek to live under its influence and authority. What is "it"? It is truth, and it has set me free. I encourage you to join me in my corner of the universe from time to time. I will be examining my treasure and seeing how it relates to the world - both mine and yours.
