Quote of the Day... part 2

"REALITY IS LIKE A FINE WINE, IT WILL NOT APPEAL TO CHILDREN."

This quote is from Don Miller... from his book at least. Someone else said it to him.

I've thought of this quote lately when life has been unsatisfying and the questions of "why does life suck so bad" or "why are things so hard" float through my head. Wine is kind of bitter and harder to get used to than grape juice or coke for instance, but over time it can be much better. Sadly, I tend to prefer the coke (literally and figuratively.) I have a very easy life: easy job, easy roommates, easy family, not much stress, but there's probably not a whole lot of growth occuring in my life when things are so easy. I can pretty much just coast. Being engaged has added some stress to my life... how will I support a family? I can't do whatever I want whenever I want to anymore. Spiritual leadership? what the @#!? does that mean? especially when my fiance is at least as spiritual and probably more of an up-front leader than me.

What I need to realize is that hard doesn't = bad and that often it = good.

I think the next step for me now is to develope a taste for wine.

Quote of the Day

My friend Trina had a great quote today:

"YOU MAY NOT HAVE MUCH TO SAY, OR BE A GREAT WRITER, BUT THOSE WHO SPEAK LESS... SPEAK LESS CRAP."

Well put Trina.
