Well, where do I begin? O.K. …. We were living in Maine, I had a small mortgage company. Ready for change. want out of Maine and out of the mortgage business. started a dialogue with my wife about moving. she was up with getting closer to family but would not bite on the idea of moving to Colorado. We end up in Charleston, SC, a lovely town. But if I was in my right mind, I would have never moved there. You see, I am a mountain man- an avid outdoors man- love hiking, skiing, biking- anything outdoors! if you love to sweat and the beach, Charleston is great!
I think sweating is way over rated! not to mention the bugs that come with the heat and humidity. A friend of mine refers to Charleston as the “Swamp”. I think it is a perfect fit. Now, you say,,,, where does the Desert fit in? Glad you asked. In scripture, the desert or wilderness is referred to as a place of trials. Well, since we moved to the swamp we have been blessed with many trials that have tested us to the core and in the end made us more like Jesus- understanding, compassionate, acquainted with sorrow and suffering- able to relate to others and their sufferings.
This blog is about what God is doing in my life and all that I have learned or “relearned” through the storms of life. I have purposefully decided to not focus on the trials, but lets just say they have hit on every level of human suffering. I choose to focus on what I have learned from the trials and what God is doing in my life and to testify of His love, faithfulness, mercy and grace. Before I close this blog post, let me explain what is meant by Wild Goose Chase. The Celtic Christians refer to the Holy Spirit as “the wild goose”. This blog is my personal journey down the “path” of the Wild Goose. Cheers!
