In your ocean, I'm ankle deep, Lord.

  Lord - can I love you more

    serve you?  Go deeper still?

      Holding your hand as you guide me?

We all want to believe in something.

  Our folks and our families

    love

    Success

    Ourselves

    our ability to turn things around

  hope

    sheer determination and the American Dream

  the benificient mountain gods

  the one thing.

      What is your one thing?

  it's like the "if only_______, then I'd be happy" 

    but then the

      dream car crashes or someone barfs in it

      dream house needs cleaning and a new sump pump

      dream girl doesn't understand you

        or the dream guy comes home late and disheveled each night

      or the economy shifts, turns, rolls over, and plays dead

            families separate by miles

  we grow weary and tired

and realize that our best efforts

    and big believing dreams

    ushered us to this place

    of NOT KNOWING

        BROKENESS

        CONFUSION

        POVERTY

          of all kinds.

Then What?

"The Moses said, "If you don't personally go with us, don't make us leave this place."

    exodus 33:15
