Watered down coffee

I am sitting here, not crosslegged or Indian style, but lengthwise and straightlegged. My Mac is providing to be more than enough of a heating source on my lap and thus will probably leave light-pink dots as an afterthought. Or an aforethought?

I am waiting here, not desperately or in suspense, but longingly and lovingly. With every buzz of my phone, I can't help skipping the beats of my heart. Oh, be still my heart. If only the contractions and bursts of blood in and out of my ventricles could be silenced and stilled. Maybe then I could write a proper blog. Or perhaps I should turn off the television. It's ridiculous nonsense that they play in that box.

I am reading here, not wanderingly or in leisure, but with purpose and intention. My Bible speaks lengths into my soul, it stirs up from within a daily transformation and thirst to live the Gospel. I am ashamed of myself, yet proud of the daily triumphs He bestows upon my lowly head. I turn off the television.

Maybe then we can talk?
