Now the whole
world had one language and a common speech. As
men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar
and settled there. They said to each other,
"Come, let's make bricks and bake them
thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone,
and tar instead of mortar. Then they said,
"Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a
tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we
may make a name for ourselves and not be
scattered over the face of the whole earth." But
the Lord came down to see the city and the tower
that the men were building. The Lord said, "If
as one people speaking the same language they
have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to
do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go
down and confuse their language so they will not
understand each other." Genesis 11:1-7

Have you ever felt small and
insignificant, like everyone was looking at
you through the wrong side of a telescope? I
suspect we all have. It's hard not to envy
the 'big people' who seem to have it all.
Actually, there is no difference between the
'big people' and the 'little people', we all
have a hole in our life that begs to be
filled. Discovering how to fill the hole is
the trick. Almost everything under the sun
has been tried, only one thing has worked.
How about you, is your hole filled, or are
you running on empty? Only God, our creator,
can fill that hole and give our lives
significance and meaning.
