WE GET TO LIVE LARGER THAN LIFE

Don't you love right now?

Oh sure, we've each got our neck braces to endure.  Yet these would hardly be classified as our way of life.

Since I was a kid I have been driven for the wonder of what could be.  But I lacked the sense to note the wonder of what is.  I liked school, teachers, and my awesome classmates.  While I liked a lot of things, there was a lack of appreciation for the now because I was looking forward to when.

So how are you doing with living larger than life?

  • How many of you are paralyzed from the neck down?
  • How many have lost limbs in war?
  • How many do not get to sit at a table three times a day and chew your food?
  • How many are able to drive down a street in America without being afraid of the police?
  • How many get to pay higher prices at the pumps because you own a car and drive yourself?
  • How many can walk into and out of churches without threat or intimidation?
  • How many have more than one friend when it has been said the average person has none?
  • How many have more than one set of clothing to wear?
  • How many have more than one pair of shoes?
  • How many have a doctor?
  • How many of us live like Kings and Queens compared to the filth and disease other countries endure; yet we hardly regard ourselves as wealthy?
  • How many of you took for granted you could read this post?
There are the first dozen random questions which could be multiplied many times. Please do not miss the abundant Life Jesus promises by whining, complaining, and arguing.

Please...may we all awaken to the wonder of you and me getting to live larger than life!  

It isn't someday.  It is here...now...and don't you love it?
