The Walk Is Certainly Not Easy

Sorry for not updating as frequently as I used to be. I had projects to complete and after each full day, I am pretty tired to write and the few times I tried it was disastrous. I felt I had to write to express how I felt and what I perceive from the many things happening here in my beloved country but it is truly overwhelming to put forth a good response and standpoint that would reflect me. A tired mind and body certainly does not help. So most nights are spent driving my Civic in Need For Speed Underground, btw I upgraded to the Miata two nights ago. Somehow the music and the speed helps me to unwind before I retire to bed.

With so many things happening around us and the fact that all of us have our jobs to keep, family to feed, wife/husband to please, friends to entertain, debts to pay, other to take care of.. somehow we are sucked into a neverending, ever changing flux that saps all our energy so much so we are left much like another piece of leftover pizza, moldy and not even good for eating much less enjoyed.

We, the light and salt of the world are decaying each day as we are inert, passive, lethargic, unwilling, unmotivated to response and react to the world around us. Feels like we have hop on to the merry-go-round and as it spins, we just go through the motion of spining round and round while moving up and down till it all stops and Yes! we are back at where we started.

My fellow Jesus followers, I have no answers tonight, I am pretty much in the same bind, up, down, up and down, I know however that we have to lose all the shackles that binds us, the lifestyle we keep, the debts we accumulated, the highs we want to feel amongst others... till we lose all that is non eternal and adopt a life of simplicity I doubt if we could ever give the appropriate response to the many pressing issues afflicting our land, our people, our mission field. We the chosen ones must decide to shine or be doom, damned, whatever to darkness... forever. Happy Thoughts!
