Thoughts of the Past Week

+ "I'm not sure why I started to think about this but I think that I've fallen in love with the wrong things." Usually when you hear something like this, you immediately think of things of this word: cars, houses, designer brand goods, etc. I would say that for me, it's something quite different. I've fallen in love with mercy and grace. Each morning, I wake up thinking "Man, I'm glad I'm caught in God's grace and mercy today" rather than thinking "Man, God is awesome. I want to live for Him today." Somewhere over the course of the last few weeks, I've become a lover of God's gifts that He so generously pours out on my rather than God himself.

+"The idea that we have time is merely an illusion." Quite frankly, we don't have time. We don't know what's ahead of us - or anyone else for that matter. I find myself sitting here, almost complacent, when it comes to doing kingdom work and spreading the Good News. I go to school thinking I can be a good witness - tomorrow. But in reality, life is quick and short. I don't have much time. There's a message that I know, one that is radically life changing, that people need to hear not tomorrow or the day after but now.
