Must have been that chili banana smoothie...

Man, I was sick as a dog this weekend. So sick you could have shot a zombie flick at my house. I rarely get sick, but when I do, it's not pretty. I am glad to be well again, and appreciate the weight I've lost by methods I do not wish to reveal due to their graphic content.

I'm having one of those days. You know, those days where you see past the circumstances and gaze pensively at the big picture. I bought the new Relient K album (really good stuff) and there was a song that basically said that no one told him what giving too much(to God) looked like so he was going to give until there was nothing left.

Naturally, this caused certain thoughts to pop into my mind: "What does giving everything look like?" "Have I ever done this?" Let's be real- I don't think I'm the only one asking this. So now comes the part where I search the Bible for what it means to live that kind of life.

We live in a world where so many things pull for your attention. Especially if you have a spouse and kid(s) at home! So many times I surround myself with things that bring temporary entertainment but eventually I end up staring at the brick wall of discontent and the realization that nothing can really bring me fulfillment like living each day in the presence of God and carving out special time for us.

I guess that's one part of the answer I'm looking for.
