Gone (ePub)

B. Michael Snoap has a few academic letters after his name, but the best title he carries is that of husband, father, and friend. Like most people who come from a normal life filled with amazing things, you discover that life is meant to be shared. While academia can be an insightful and challenging world, to be a part of the expertise gained there doesn't really help in developing relationships. It's about obtaining your goal. While relationships can and are built, most often they are based on the subject matter at hand and not the people inside. When you leave the classroom and begin to walk with people in the light of day and the dark of night, you discover that relationships are complicated, messy, and the thing God truly desires for us. I liked academia. I liked clean lines where if you followed the stated rights and responsibilities, you were going to have success. But in the world of community, there are no set guidelines. In the real world, there are no "If I do this, then I will have success with that ..." From friends, family, to my own children, community takes time, community takes effort, and more than anything, true community takes a grace that only the Lord can provide. But I have found if I am willing to commit to God's call to be in relationship with those he has brought into my life, I am a much richer man for following his path.
