- Towards a more perfect union
- How is your relationship with Jesus better today than it was a year ago, five years ago?
- What is drawing you closer to Jesus week in, week out?
- What do you think Jesus sees in you today that maybe wasn't there before?
- Where do you think that Jesus is taking you?
- The apple of God's eye
- Has there ever been someone in your life who absolutely doted on you?
- How did that make you feel?
- How did you act, knowing that you were so important to that other person?
- How important do you think that you are to God?
- How are you acting in response to that doting?
- Marathons are always fun the first few miles.
- Do you ever wonder about how your own death will play out?
- Have you ever told God how you wanted your death to play out?
- How are you preparing today for that eventual final leg in life's journey?
- What do you think you have to do to be ready?
- Eternity is like nothing you've ever experienced before
- You become what your hope is.
- What are you hoping for in life?
- What do you think that your odds of getting that might be?
- How do you know that your hopes are God's hopes?
- Am I growing in endurance in this life?
- Am I spending any time in contemplation?
- What new good habits am I taking up?
- Am I willing to find out what really matters?
Will there be Clocks in Heaven?
The hard part about eternity is that all of time is equally accessible, all of the time.
The laughter, the tears, the joys, the disappointments are all always fresh and vibrant.
And I think that is going to be hard, especially for us who let time slip away
Never really savoring the now in favor of the "to come", never realizing
Never realizing the fools' ransom that we pay for that which is just over the horizon
In exchange for what is right there in our midst.
Moments are lost, not they are boring or mundane or meaningless
They are lost for lack of attention, lack of being savored and dwelt upon.
To live life without regrets, learn to savor every moment
Marinate in the now, and let it unfold naturally in your hand.
And maybe you'll take a meander through a rare pilgrimage.
Shalom!
