...and we are LIVE...

Why is it that when we sit and think it is hard to actually do any thinking at all? As i sip away my coffee and listen to sermons on-line i suddenly feel like i am in a zone where everyone around me has suddenly been beamed up into a haze of nothingness. But they are still here. I realize this when a friend wackes the window behind me and makes my hair instantly stand on end. As my heart rate comes back down to a normal pace and i am back into my zone I begin to think... it is blank again. Now i am just a man in a coffee house thinking about nothing. I must admit this is one of my favorite things to do, but this time i want to think but it is as blank as a canvas without paint. As soon as i realize this, the funniest thing happens, a light bulb flashes and instantly a thought. It is about life. I must remind you i am sitting in a coffee shop. People sometimes look funny here. We have this craving for coffee and this addiction to the caffeine that makes us shake, but what is the point? I love my coffee, in fact i am one of those people who drink it regularly. In fact, i am finishing my third cup as i am typing. I think to myself about our desperation over things like coffee and wonder why. It is only a cup of coffee and at the end of the day the only thing it does is keep us up when we want to sleep. When it comes to issues of faith, why is it so hard to have this desperation and addiction to the extent we do for coffee, our favorite hockey team or that last little bit of sleep we crave after we press the snooze button? Addiction is good when it is on the important issue of faith and Christ, why can't we be addicted to Christ and the word of God the same way? As this new year begins i have been studying what it means to truly live for Christ; not just in the mornings or at night, but throughout the day, live on display. What would it look like if we were fully Living a Christ like life everyday on display the way Christ has called us to live? hmmmmm..... interesting. Just like live television has no interruptions, no pause button or delete; what you see is what you get. Geunuine Christian living... LIVE:LIVE
