January’s just over halfway gone. It’s finally raining. Melancholy is the mood du jour, but, it’s ok. As I think of it, I tend toward it being a normal state as a Christian. It’s a longing, a missing something; and since this is not our home, it is normal to long for home, for Someone. It doesn’t lack joy, though. There is a deep joy; a joy at knowing that home awaits. Despite the here and now, there is joy in knowing home awaits. So the here and now is tolerable, joyful even. There is joy in fellowship, knowing we’re headed home.
Bon Iver seems appropriate.
