I have good intentions.

This is Jocelyn’s long overdue turn on REVwords.

Every New Years I start a diary and by January 7th I have abandoned the daily entry of my musings.

Daily Questions

However, our son and daughter-in-law gifted Bob and I a three-year diary years ago and this January, we opened it up. Better late than never!

Every day starts with a question. Some are easy and straight forward. Like, when was the last time you had fast food and what was it? What was the last movie you watched. These are easy, but other questions take more thought and pondering.

Bob and I have been married for 46 years, and I thought I knew him and hoped he knew me. But some of these questions have caused us to pause and ask each other: how would you answer this?

Such as: What do you want more than anything?

World peace seems too obvious!

Baffles

“What is your partner thinking right this moment?”

To answer that question requires dialogue.

Who better to have a discussion with than with my best friend.

One of the questions coming up is: What baffles you?

This would be my longest answer.

Bob and I are often puzzled by the opinion that Christians can’t be Liberals, NDP, or Democrats. We’re confused by people who dismiss facts in favour of social media. We feel frustrated by Christians who think that political power can create gospel outcomes.

Baffled doesn’t describe how we feel about friends in Ukraine who sustain hope while Russian missiles and drones rain down destruction and death every day. We see their faith.

What baffles you?

Please join the conversation and post a comment below.

Hope grows here.  We share stories that inspire people, build faith, and offer lasting purpose.

We’d love to have you Subscribe to REVwords. We’ll put helpful content into your inbox Mondays and Fridays.
