Definition

I realize that my brain works quite uniquely. I wanted the definition of the word "definition". Here is what Webster says: "it is the act of determining." I feel like that is where my life has landed in this place of constantly finding definitions. The words of my life are all there: husband, father, pastor, friend, employee, maker of the morning coffee. But sometimes it is that determining that lacks and quite possibly leaves this question: what is the definition of "me"? Or the way we like to ask the question so it makes the most sense is "who am I?"

I know, I know...I have my list of words (see above list). But does that define us or sometimes are we looking for who we are? At times I wish I could open the page of Webster and find Jeff Pitts somewhere on the page between je ne sais quoi and jello and find the definition of my life.

Until Webster gets it figured out and added to the book I will keep journeying in this process of determining who the God of this Universe is shaping me into.
