Took my son, who is a high school freshman, to school this morning as always. He is in his first nine-weeks of this new adventure. Suddenly, it occurred to me, the way it might dawn on someone that the sun is rising, that he is now nice to me more often than he used to be. A tiny wave of (cautious) relief washed over me. He is actuallly going to grow up, and we will be friends. Thanks, Lord. I needed that. Realized that I had a knot in my gut from the moment I woke up this morning. Think it might have something to do with yesterday's blog post, with musings about the validity of all of my choices. You know that commercial running now that says "What if all of your missed opportunities were all grouped in one room"? Well, this morning it has been as if they were all tied to my back and somehow my stomach got involved. Had to dump out my coffee at a redlight on the way to Centennial High. I'm sort of excited, actually. I think I might actually respond to such heavy stimuli and, well, TAKE A RISK. I have started two novels, both of which were summarily wiped out by a computer crash. Isn't it interesting that I reacted to their loss with a yawn? They were not the ones. The Bible makes it clear that life is an adventure and, for the Christian, one lived through the limitless resources of Christ. He is also limitlessly creative in the ways He brings about change and momentum in our lives. Lastly, He is the source of all creativity so, if it's an idea you need, He'll bring one or three to the table. It's so exciting to know Him.
