It is so hard...
You know what I'm starting to see?
Love is the kingdom. And the kingdom has very little (or nothing) to do with where we are or what we're doing, or what others are doing to us.
It is who we are. Completely.
I have this theory that we all live with what I call "the hollywood mentality". Everyone is just trying to make it to "Hollywood" - (like an aspiring actress who says, "If I could just get to Hollywood, then I'll be somebody." Everybody's Hollywood looks different, whether it is actually being famous or well known, or in another state, or with someone, or married to someone, or just for five o'clock to come....Hollywood. It never comes. You can never get there. It doesn't even exist. You are you no matter where you are - Hollywood, Austin, Lindale...you will always be made of the same stuff and will have the same character and will be the same selfish, unhappy person, until you suffer the death of Christ.
If we could just be humble and accept the gift of life, of the moment, and realize the beauty of our participation in RIGHT NOW and stop THINKING so much about the future, get our minds out of our own heads and into the presence of the miraculous reality that is around us, our next breath, our ability to...be...alive...whatever that means to us....man, does it mean anything at all?
(hopefully)
Hope you had a good love feast tonight. Keep me updated. I love you too.
