Sunsets

Kyle and I were spending some time on Sunday relaxing at a coffee shop in a local park and we got to see a beautiful sunset. The sun has started to set here at 4:15! I thought that was only possible in Alaska. As I was enjoying the wonderful scenery I realized that there are some things you can't wait for or you'll miss it. You can't wait to see a sunset in a little while because its only there for a moment and it might not be that great tomorrow. Especially in Washington!

And as quick as life seems to go by there are also certain things we can't wait for or we'll miss it as well. We can't be like that guy who said "I'll follow you Jesus, just let me bury my father first." He wanted to follow Jesus, just later in his own time. Let us do what we can and now to know Jesus and follow him with our whole being, giving hope to those who are hopeless without Christ.

Thoughts

I'm sitting in a coffee shop on campus doing some reading, and I notice that they are playing a Christian music CD over the stereo. I don't know if anyone is paying attention to the content of the music, but we're all God's image-bearers so perhaps He is using it to strike a chord in someone's heart tonight who hasn't let Him touch them in a long time.

I realize daily that I have the power of life and death in my hands; I can bring someone a step closer to glory or a step backward from it. C.S. Lewis describes glory as the joy we feel when God notices us, just as a child feels complete when his dad tells him he did a good job riding his bike for the first time. People want to know that they matter, and that they are wonderful. No one is a zero, even though our society is brought up to think that way. Mankind is incredibly significant.
