yes, my friend, you truly have been there through some momentous events in both of our lives! Cape Breton, Randolph Center, not to mention some amazing fall weekends; the list goes on, the best and the worst this life has to offer, we have seen a lot! This is life and like you said, I couldn't say it any better, we can be happy right here and right now! I believe this is the way God intended it to be! I also believe there is no coincidence that God has put us together!
You pursue life, I pursue God; not that much difference when you get down to it. In fact, I believe they are one in the same, meaning you can't truly find one, without the other. The Bible says Jesus IS the way, the truth and THE LIFE, and so, if what I believe is true, we can only find life when we find the Christ. But, it is a spiritual pursuit that manifests itself in the physical realm. The first principle of the Christian way of life can be summed up in one sentence from one sermon that Jesus gave on a mountainside outside Jerusalem, He told His would be followers:
"Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you."
Again, you are right, all these things have been provided to us, including puppies; we are truly a blessed people...the differences between us, in this land of plenty, can often be subtle. Just as you describe, I am often guilty of overlooking the simple truth that we have been given so much...
I had to go to Branson (30 hours by car) to find a church that meets my spiritual needs! I will have Joe establish a link on my homepage. The teachings are awesome and free! If you can open yourself to the spirtual dimension, I believe that you would find what you are looking for also, my friend!
