learn to live in the present

God has given us eternal perpective so that we can look beyond the routines of life. Understanding, however, that God has not revealed to us, all of lifes mysteries. My life's bout of spiritual immaturity has hindered me from venturing past my comfort zone. To long have I been like those 40 year old men who have formed perfect butt grooves on there couches, indulging in that nasty trio: profanity, beer, and hockey.
I need to inherit the wonder and adventure of a child, setting aside worldy prudence and hard skeptisism which we so often pride ourselves on. And as willful as this may be, it can turn your vunerable heart to a humble heart.
Everyone has that instictive feeling telling them that something isn't right. For me, fear of the unknown has always provailed, and my inner feelings are left ignored.

I realize, as i grow older, the significance of living from my heart.

I say you got all the "child" things inherited already :)

It's true we all have that feeling when something is feels wrong. But we can also tell when something feels right...

Anyways I'll talk to you tomorrow or whatever, remember to get the 4-1-1 on the whole 'practicum' thing. You know it'd be pretty awsome...

Hi, I'm not much for religious spiritual talk; my one friend is, and I just stare at him till he stops talking. But I guess we are able to see things that we want in life, but unsure about how to get that.

if you want adventure go to africa! I hear it's the place to be? :D

neways we will always fear what we dont know or understand (i fear cough syrup ick). But you gotta know that there are still people that will stand there with you to overcome your fears *cough cough wink* hehe
