Vacation Day

I'm playing hooky today. Well, not really b/c I did put in for a vacation day. Nonetheless, it feels like I'm playing hooky - so that makes it kind of entertaining and almost exciting. I might even go as far as saying that I'm almost pretending to play hooky.

I was talking with Trent last evening. It was a great conversation. We talked about sensing that there is something else to this world... to living. He made a comment that people say that their lives are boring. Well, my vacation day turned into hooky day. Now that's exciting!

Time to go bike riding!

So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. (Romans 12:1-2, The Message)
