Back on the air?

Yes, I have been a way for a while.  I must admit that I've felt bad about not posting regularly, but, I haven't had a anything to say.  And I don't want to post just to post and drive up traffic.  I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with that, it is just not my style.  Besides, I follow a lot of blogs like that and I get a lot out of them.

Perhaps it is the start of the season of Advent that, quite in line with the intent of the season, I have become more reflective.  Perhaps it is because I am traveling to Helsinki for some training this week that I have actually had time to do some reflecting.

So anyways, here I am in Frankfurt, Germany waiting for my connecting flight to Helsinki.  This week I will be at a workshop to learn about LTE as well as network with some folks.  Hopefully, I will be able to have a beer with some old friends from one of the other wireless programs I used to work on.  I will keep my fingers crossed.

So I am sitting in one of these airport lounges, waiting for my flight, and I am looking at all of the people.  About 100.  All sitting in their own chairs, going about their business.  With the exception of a few folks who are obviously business partners, no one is talking to each other.  We are a gregarious species who hunger for human contact. Why aren't we talking to each other when we are so far from our homes and families.  The ones we love?

A great many of them are probably Christian, why aren't they sharing their love of Christ and his Father?  What is it about our condition that we feel like we need to restrain ourselves with respect to our love of God around strangers?

I must admit that I would not make the first move to discuss something, so I'm guilty.  I'm just wondering why we are like this.  Why do I have to wait for my weekly bible study or write behind the facade of a blog in order to share my thoughts and love of God?

Just pondering.
