There is a moment in our lives when we must decide which world we belong to. The world of our dreams or the other one. We can't all drift back and forth between them without risking losing our place in both.
Alex Miller, Conditions of Faith
You know I for the last few years now envisioned myself living the life that...well I suppose I have tried to live all year. For all this time my vision of "me" has been of crazy nights driving fast cars and shooting pool, bouncing from hall to hall, pulling crazy stunts and living the good life, free to do whatever I feel for the most part. Then during the day living as an officer, flying F-18's at intense speeds, looking sharp, and leading and protecting Americans. But recently I faced a reality. I can't live in two different worlds. And thats exactly what those are, two seperate lives. Suddenly I am faced with the blunt reality of a choice. A choice between fighting so those I love may live the way they wish and living my life the way I wish. What a choice! To be honest I don't even know the answer yet....
For God showed us His own love in this: While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
