Finding... and Adopting...

Y'gotta love this new-found ability to find new friends via the net. But it's more than that. If they're bloggers, the rules have changed -- the guard is let down and it's way easier to get to know 'em from the inside-out. So you get to know folks much more quickly than if you sat beside them in church for a year.
Example: I just found a new local (Christian) blog & blogger... "Bright Mystery" (Robert Talbert). It was so interesting that I backed up and read through a lot of his archive there. [Btw, let's see you do that at the Indianapolis Star!] So in no time at all, you find him to be a '5-pointer' with a wife of 4.5 years and an adopted Chinese daughter of 1.0 years, and who revels about (almost) solving the 'twin prime conjecture', posts pics of his wife on the internet (shoveling his drive while he plays pirate --Aye Mateys!)... and later goes to a church where he enjoys smelling tortillas and hearing mariachi music. ***smile***some 'literary license' taken***
You can only imagine how very interesting Robert must be in front of his classroom.
So here's an interesting excerpt from 'Bright Mystery', with a generous helping of spiritual food for today.
"OK, so these big people have never failed to feed me, change me, play with me, keep me warm, protect me from the elements and from strange people. They've shown me new things and had lots of fun with me. Up till now I've never had any reason to think that things could be otherwise. But now the one with the deeper voice is walking out the door and leaving me in the arms of somebody else I don't know. I've not been left alone before like this -- except maybe one time before, long ago. So what do I do? Do I continue to trust? Is this person who he said he would be? "
"So here's where the spiritual lesson comes in...."

[Btw, we've now 'adopted' Robert's blog among our "Who's Who of Indy Bloggers" in the lower RH margin here at IndyChristian.com so you'll always be able to reach him when you think you've got an idea how to solve the 'twin prime conjecture'.]
