I want to start this by saying I am getting the least amount of sleep I have ever gotten in my entire life. I love my child, but I came to the harsh reality this morning that I wont get a good nights sleep for the next 15 years or so. It is a season of life for me where it is easy to think that things can be put on the back burner because I am a new Dad, and to an extent priorities do need to be shuffled, but that doesn’t mean I can drop the ball, nor will I. I sit here listening to Sufjan Steven’s Come On Feel the Illinois with visions of Dodgers fans eating their words for years of scorn aimed at Barry Bonds. Their precious golden ticket to the playoffs relaxing in his mansion for an extended vacation as his team sweats it out while losing to the Nationals. I think to myself, life is good, life is fair, life is just.
Beyond that I just finished reading my brother-in-law’s blog (Isaiah 53:10 in the blogs I follow) and I am continually blown away by his passion and zeal. In a week where I have just come off of two fundraisers and I am tired, it was good to be reminded of the fact that we have only merely tasted, smelled, and grazed shoulders with our Lord God and we need to be continually striving after Him.
