Life is very short, you don't need a blog to tell you that. But what if you had the capacity not only to live life but to dream? Most people stop right there, they are content to go to work each day and come home and make dinner and sit in front of the TV set and..well you know the story. I think that rest is important but it is in those moments when we feel the most restless that we should take a step back and really ask ourselves if we are really living. Sure we have a breath, we sleep and we eat, but can I propose to you that life is really lived outside of the mundane? There is nothing wrong with having a family and someone to love, in fact those are things that we all desire. But who really has you?
We live in nice little boxes called houses (very necessary by the way) and we are surrounded by people and sometimes we wish we weren't. This interconnected thing is just a distraction, but if you could imagine one day all the things that you depend on, like you know, just disappeared? What would you do? I know some of you would get along better than myself, but if you think that relationships will ultimately satisfy you, you are wrong.
There is only one person who can meet all your needs and St. Augustine said our hearts are eternally restless until we have found God! You might imagine such a feet impossible to achieve and that is just the point. We were made for more than Cheetos and beer and occasionally deep fried donuts. We were created to search for God and possibly find him. I am telling you if you live in your head all the time or if you never take a step or two towards realising that in this life, is that not all there is for you in the future? I do not apologise for telling you, who you are in this life, will be who you will be in the next. I'm talking about salvation. As I close this blog, I want to remind you that there is a love that is so profound, a love that is so creative, a love that can only be satisfied by looking at who you really are and being honest with yourself. I've had enough of living my life like there is no God and I hope you have to. All you need to do is to step out. Try it, it is fun.
