Elkandren!!! Elkandren... Elkandren?!?

Elkandren!!! Elkandren... Elkandren?!? okay, who's Elkandren?!? let's jus say he's a truly enigmatic elf, particularly talented at archery, music and, well, frankly, little else... oh well, a bit of magic... at home among the trees, i decided to revive Elkandren from his dormancy in the forests of Faêrun, from life amidst the beautiful simplicity of endless miles of mountains and trees and rivers and waterfalls, and let him look after my blog...

anywayz, that brings me back to reality... ah, reality... - the part of life we constantly deal with that frustrates us, because we don't have full control over it... reality isn't treating me too badly though, with exams finally over (last one today), and nothing to worry about... so i'm reminded by Jesus in Matthew 6:25-34:

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

so, yah, trust in God is so important... shall look forward to the future with joy and excitement, for God has great plans for each and every one of his fearfully & wonderfully made creatures... ;p

God bless,
dave
