Amazing how I have to be taught the same lessons over and over... cept in different ways. I guess it's all because of my pride that I think I've reached a certain point, and so I don't need to worry so much about keeping up with QTs or maintaining my relationship with God so strongly. But even so, I'm glad that I still find immense Joy when I am able to put aside my laziness and distractions and spend some quality time in the Word and in Prayer.

Lifeless

It's the strangest feeling to see a body that once had life to lie there with no breath. You begin to realize what a mystery life is, how when the cells of the body can no longer function the way they should, the person is just gone. The body is there, but that's not who they were. The person you loved, whom you think of fondly whom you were afraid of, whom you had grown distant from, whoever you remember, was in the life they had, not in their body.

It's amazing how from the moment of birth we breathe the very breath of God that he breathed into Adam. As long as we live, we hold this piece of God within us, and when it's gone, our life is Gone... Another testament to our desparate need for God.
