The good times
Last week I heard Pastor Mat Garcia give a message on the difference between success and significance. He used the analogy of having times when your kids are young and how fast the time goes until you look back and realize how fast your kids have grown up. I really want to treasure the times I have with my daughter and cherish each moment. I understand that there are diapers to change right now and temper tantrums that go unended, but even through those frustrations I want to spend as much time with her as possible before she is too old to hang out with dad. Here is a shot of the two of us hanging out at home. Both with crazy hair.
The Kingdom of God
I am reading a book entitled, “This Beautiful Mess.” It describes the idea that most Christians live with this idea that the kingdom of God is something to be looked forward to and not something that exists in the present. But, when you look at scripture you see Christ’s words about the kingdom and realize that he was talking about something that is HERE and NOW. This is not something far off and distant, but something that is close and tangible. I love wrestling with these types of ideas and I hope that God would stir your heart as well.
