Getting started

Well this is a little intimidating! Putting your thoughts out there for others to see and respond to.
Nevertheless, here goes.

For some time I've been thinking about perspectives. Hence the title of the blog, "sobigsolittle". It covers alot of the ideas I think I will touch on in my posts.

First off, is the idea that God is so big, and yet we humans generally think that we are so important. I retired about 2 years ago, thinking I would do some big godly work. Since then I'm learning how difficult that is. I realized that I'm pretty insignificant in the big scheme of things. I've come to realize that I don't know very much about most things. In fact people that believe they have all the answers worry me; scare me might be more like it. Much of this blog will be taken up with my search to know better who God is and how I'm to relate to him. If I'm right, it's that relationship and what results from it, that makes for an exciting, worthwhile life.

Next, when I stopped practicing law, I trained to teach English. It seemed like an opportunity to make a difference, not to mention do some travelling. And so I'm in the process of discovering this big world, and finding that the perspectives I have as a North American are too narrow. If all you know is CNN, etc. your understanding of the world will be very narrow. I hope to have some photos, some social comment and travel thoughts that show a bigger picture.

If you've read this far, I'm pleased. If the ideas I've set out interest you, that's even better. Make some comments, and in some sense we can make this journey together.
