in the midst of life, we often forget to truly live it. the Lord offers us an abundant life. why would we refuse such an offer? too often we waste our time on things like school, or whatever it might be that you put as your top priority most of the time. we stress out about it, and we're unhappy with our lives. we miss out on joy and peace, because we "don't feel like" spending time with God. in attempting to make life simpler, easier....we are in fact just being lazy, and in effect missing out on the best things in life. we need to stop forgetting to live life. be spontaneous. take the long way home every once in a while. accept God's offer of an abundant life....and spend time with God. see what a difference it makes.
