The Host

I finished a book tonight called "The Host"
It was a remarkable book, and made me see a little bit of hope that I've been missing in my own life. I also watched a new show called "the world's strictest parents" - which I found very eye opening. This week it stuck two Aussie brats in a Pastor's home, somewhere in the bible belt (in the states).. Funny thing was, that home seemed awful familiar. It's the kind of home I scoffed at growing up for being ignorant and just over the top.

But a funny thing happened. I started longing to be there, as I watched. I began to miss the safety and structure. The opportunity to share and do things with one another. To live and love and listen. As sappy as it all seems, I think we all must need a little of that.

I reckon we could all use a little Faith, Hope and Love. Somehow I've extinguished all three.
