What Are You Looking For?

Note:  No slice of bread appeared yesterday due to a change in entering the "blogspot".  I figured it out later in the day, so here we are...apologies again!

When Andrew, the brother of Peter and another disciple of John the Baptist heard him point out Jesus as "the Lamb of God", they began to catch up to him, and turning, he asked them, "What are you looking for?" (Jn 1:38). A telling question, worthy of our reflection today.
What are we looking for when we turn on our e-mail or social media?  What are we looking for at the movies, games or clubs where we spend so much time?  Companionship? Affirmation? Security? Distraction? Satisfaction?  We might also ask, "Why spend your time on what fails to satisfy?  Would not five or ten minutes of silence or conversation with Jesus profit us more?  What are we looking for?
