Back to Blogging... and school

Through many long discussions with several of my closest friends, I have begun to look at life through the lenses of an author. Every life is a story, like it or not. There was a beginning at some point, there will be a middle (though we will not know it), and sadly enough there will eventually be an end. I suppose that it is a natural instinct or untrained habit to want to write the story as we see fit. When we don't like a part of the story, we change it. When we like a different part we repeat it. When we have a chance to rewrite, we take it. When we mess up, we try to erase it.
There is a problem, however, with our attempts at authorship. We were never intended to be writing our own stories. In a way, our lives are a biography written by God, not an autobiography to be written by us. Our lives are part of a much larger story that belongs to God. Since we know nothing of that larger story, we will never be fully successful at writing our part of it on our own. Just a possibility.
