Life.

St. Iranaeus of Lyons says, " The glory of God is man fully alive, and the life of man is the vision of God."

I LIKE that! Its what I have been pondering, its what I have been pouring over in this little head of mine lately. And you know what I have concluded from this? What I have seen? What i think?

I think as a follower of Christ. Life is supposed to be mind-boggling, its supposed to be excellent, amazing, stirring, jaw-dropping, inspiring, wondrous, and so much more.

Its pretty awesome to think that God takes pleasure when we are having the time of our life.

So, I am learning to make a little room in my schedule for life to happen.

Sleep in a little
go for a run
drink from the stream instead of the bottle
cross through the creek, not over it
sing a little louder
sake up early for the sunrise, and take it in
feel the release of a frisbee from my hand as it glides through the air
climb a mountain
hug the girl a little longer
grab coffee with an old friend
teach someone something new
take a day off of work, just because its nice out
listen to Jack Johnson
eat an extra piece of cake

"But the person in right standing before God through loyal and steady believing is fully alive, really alive"
-Habakkuk 2:4 (MSG)

So, friend, go enjoy life. God intended it that way
