'We Will Be Experiencing Some Techincal Difficulties'

I'm not sure what I'm doing. It's a strange thing. While I was at college I found myself spending too much time with other people to the point that I wasn't getting enough rest. Now I sleep way too much, and--but for my buddy Ben--I'm not spending very much time around my friends. Sure I manage to get out a little. I've been helping out with stuff at my church. But that only gets me involved with people who are older and younger than I am. Not that I don't appreciate those friendships. They are great people and I love the time that I spend with them. But it's such a shift from living around people who are just about all in the same age bracket.
As I mentioned, Ben has been around here quite often. That has helped considerably.
But I'm still not sure what I'm doing. I'm kind of in a place where I'm looking at things that I've always accepted as 'the way things should be' and asking 'is that really the way things should be'. But maybe I'm just going about things the wrong way. Maybe I'm doing the exact same thing I was before, just trying to come at it from a different angle. This is going to take a while.

Truth Exists

I don't know what I'm going to do
In a year,
In a month,
When I'm thirty-six.
I don't know where I'm going to be:
In this state,
In this country,
Across the great blue oceans.
I don't know what's going on around me:
In politics,
In economics,
In people's lives.
There are a lot of things that I don't know.
What's most important is what I do know.
I know I'm a sinner;
Imperfect,
Unclean,
Disgusting and shameful.
I know that I've been forgiven;
By grace
From God,
Through one perfect sacrifice.
I know that I am cared for;
Eternally,
Thoroughly,
By one who knows my every need.
I know that I am heard;
Every tear,
Every word,
Every cry for joy or pain.
I know that I am loved;
Completely,
Perfectly,
Until the end of time,
And beyond.
