Blessed...
I don't have time, nor the passion to blog today. I just wanted to thank God for how blessed I am. I got to go to my THIRD U2 show last night in the past 2 weeks. I got to hang with friends there- old and new. I drove to and from the show in a car that I own and don't even make payments on. I have two of those. I frankly, do, so many things- that most of the people on this planet would never dream of doing. Many people on this earth are oppressed today. Many will die of hunger, of a disease called AIDS that they did not sin to catch, of terrorism, in disgrace. I sit here in a beautiful house and worry about WHAT to eat for dinner, not IF I'll get food and water. I have a loving church family that most Christians would die to have. I have the dream marriage. I have, I have, I have...
Nate and I spent the day yesterday- hanging out in downtown LA. We did some work. We brainstormed. Theorized. Hung out. Mostly, we talked about Jesus, and how far short we fall of His Glory. We talked about how much better each of us could be at loving our wives. We talked about Africa and how we see the need, but don't really know what to do about it. We talked about how we are insulated in our comfy little homes and have NO IDEA about how the world lives. We can't even relate to 3/4 of the people in our OWN country. We both have had that point driven home, during our cross-country travels, lately.
Maybe it's just one of those days. Maybe the truth is getting unbearable. Maybe it's a Wednesday afternoon funk. I don't know??? What I know is that I'm blessed... way beyond what I deserve. One of these days, I'll get up and do something about it. Today, I'll start- simply by giving thanks... for a change. It sounds pretty lame to me, but maybe that's all I can give... for today.
