I think that we are our worst enemy's. I mean we compartmentalize areas of our lives and then focus on the good areas and ignore the bad to an extreme that causes neglect or we ignore the good and focus on the bad to the point were are defeated and desperate. I guess that is why it is called balance. If you have a car you can afford then you focus on the nicer car you wish you could have and if you have the nicer car you focus on the payment you cannot afford and envy (perhaps secretly:) the person with the more affordable car. If you have a job you love then you complain about the hours. If you have a job that affords you hours then you complain about how much you don't like it.... It seems that "the grass is always greener". I wonder why that is... Why don't we devote as much attention to focusing on fertilizing our grass and caring for our grass to the point that we don't even notice the grass on the other side of the fence. I will attempt that and if you figure out the secrets or tricks before I do then let me know. I am afraid that I already know the answer and it is the answer to most significant ?'s: It is a journey of continual effort. You can be successful but you can never loose sight of the goal. The effort must never end.

I love it that I am on this journey with you, you are right... The effort must never end and it wont!
Gonna write anything else cutie?
The truth to these words are deeper than...
Ro 12:2 - Do not be conformed to this world
Mt 6:21 - For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Mt 6:33 - But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
The world will try to tell us what we need and our wretched heart will be only too happy to oblige, if we let it. But the children of God have been called to a higher purpose and it has to do with living a life whose consequences will last for eternity. Our Lord and Savior did not come to earth to be mocked, beaten and crucified so that we might have a fleeting and worldly life.
He is sufficient for all our needs and that's what we need to learn and live by. This is the race that Paul says is before us and the one he wants to win, having proved himself as a workman approved by God for the upward calling in Christ. If only I had the same attitude.
Well, Rich, write a sermom why don't you?:)
