Love

The feeling of being ...

liked...

wanted...

asked for...

cherished...

adored...

...

Needed...

This feeling, this is the hearts desire of every man, woman, and child on GGE (God's Green Earth) (sorry Sunday School Musical). As a man, when I feel this, I am more productive, more logical, happier, I think more clearly, and its easier for me to fulfill my role as a servant. When it's missing, I survive. But i'm cranky, tired, upset, stressed, and generally not as nice of a person.

I find it absolutly amazing how much God created us to not only need him, but each other.

"This is your life...

...are you who you wanna be?"

The familiar words to the switchfoot song. I pondered this query today. Am I someone I love? That I like? That I'm just OK with?

What about my new found criticism towards all things holy? I belittle Christians for being cliche, for practicing any tradition, or sometimes, just for being Christian. I lack self-motivation in many areas, and I lack self-control in others. I have the common practice of dancing around subjects of conflict just so I don't feel threatened. Oh yeah, and I quit both my jobs without a back-up in place.
