BOB We live in a web of relationships. Relationships with family members, friends, co-workers; enemies even. Some of these relationships are good and helpful. Others are not so good; some can even be harmful. We live in relationship with the things around us. Nature, our possessions, even sometimes those things which belong to others. But we also must include God in our web of relationships. Sometimes we have excluded God from our lives to the point that we are not even aware of His existence. Yet, He is there - on the very edge of our web. As we seek God and to know him better, we draw him closer and closer to the center of our web, until in perfect love, we and God are in the very same place. And note that though it seems we are drawing God closer to the center of our web, what we are actually doing is drawing the center of our web closer to Him. For the very essence of God is such that He does not move. Rather we conform our web, our lives to make Him the very center of all that we do and are.
