where DOES the time go. no seriously, where does it go...
holy crap. nov 5th? what up with that. how did that even happen? i think i've lost my edge.
has anyone seen my edge?
so i feel like a lot has transpired in that last [hot diggity dang is it possible?!] two months...
i dont' really wish to unwrap every single detail though. so not only have i lost my edge, i'm also getting lazy. ai ai ai. *sigh*
but here we are... 2004. i'm sure if i was to read others posts, i'd find a helluva lotov resolutions. but don't they just end up breaking us anyways?? cause seriously, are you really going to lose 25lbs? no honestly, have you started reading yer bible yet?
exactly
so instead of crippling myself with expectations that i, either due to extreme laziness or some sort of unknown fear, will not meet, i am choosing something attainable. i picked up mike yaconelli's book 'dangerous wonder' today. i got it in my stocking. and it sparked something in me. i am going to attempt to chase jesus this year in a way i've lost the ability to do. i'm banning my dull christianity!
check it out [it's from the chronicles of narnia, if yer desiring a little imaginative spice in yer life, seriously, read these series. c.s. lewis rocks]:
"And now -- "
"Oh yes. Now?" said Lucy jumping up and clapping her hands.
"Oh, children", said the Lion, "I feel my strength coming back to me. Oh, children, catch me if you can!" He stood for a second, his eyes very bright, his limbs quivering, lashing himself with his tail. Then he made a leap high over their heads and landed on the other side of the table. Laughing, though she didn't know why, Lucy scrambled over it to reach him. Aslan leaped again. A mad chase began. Round and round the hill-top he led them, now hopelessly out of their reach, now letting them almost catch his tail, now diving between them, now tossing them in the air with his huge and beautfiully velveted paws and catching them again, and now stopping unexpectedly so that all three of them rolled over together in a happy laughing heap of fur and arms and legs. It was such a romp as no one has ever had except in Narnia, and whether it was more like playing with a thuderstorm or playing with a kitten Lucy could never make up her mind. And the funny thing was thgat when all three finally lay together panting in the sun the girls no longer felt in the least tired or hungry or thirsty".
"It is time to find the place where the dangerous wonder of faith can be discovered - a place by landscaped by risky curiousity, wild abandon, daring playfullness, quiet listening, irresponisble passion, happy terror, and naive grace".
2004 will be about romping with jc. dangerous wonder.
ah, a satisfying update.
