The Orchid Station

Not long now, and the LOST season finale will be upon us. I'm way too excited about it, gotta control my expectations a little. Right now I'm thinking, if Jesus came back I might ask him to wait a few hours. Although then what about seasons 5 and 6?

I'm just kidding, of course, although it does bring up an interesting point. Why is it so easy to get excited by or distracted by the things of the world? The tyranny of the present, I guess. Still, there is a simple joy to my love of a good yarn, and I'm pretty sure the Big Guy loves a good story too. Now if I can just focus on the story He is writing in my life and the lives of those around me, instead of resisting and trying to impose my own version. I guess we're kinda like diva actors whose overbearing egos make a mess of the movie. I think most of the reason I try to assert my own way comes from impatience. It's not for nothing that patience is extolled as a virtue.

The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him;
it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young.
Lamentations 3:25-27
