A sudden realization.

I woke up this morning in turmoil. I knew I was spiritually out of balance, and had been for a while. My purity of dedication to my family was eroding. Maggie and I were becoming more distant, and oppositional. My thoughts were wandering elsewhere.

I went for a run.

Four miles in, out of nowhere, this thought takes over: "Your job in life is to get closer to God, and to love everyone the right way." It was a strange, simple, and powerful moment.

I feel clearer, more properly directed, than I have in a long time.

Love to all. Even you, whoever designed the keyboard on this Treo 650.

Glad to see you had this revelation. I have always been curious how the born-again [insert your religion here] receive their revelations... .

I love when the answers are yelled at me loud and clear right when I need them.

Kudos to you for being able to hear it. Sometimes I think God would need to leave me a post-it note or something in very bold magic marker.

yeah, God pretty much just punched you in the head. Sounds like you needed it. Sounds like it worked. ;-)

I also had a sudden realization today.

It basically told me not to put too much peanut butter in the pb&j sandwich, or else...

An epiphany whilst jogging, the lord works in mysterious ways :)
