Phillip Yancey writes: “Increasingly, time pressures crowd out the leisurely pace that prayer seems to require. Communication with other people keeps getting shorter and more cryptic: text messages, email, instant messaging. We have less and less time for conversation, let alone contemplation. We have the constant sensation of not enough: not enough time, not enough rest, not enough exercise, not enough leisure. Where does God fit into a life that already seems behind schedule?” (Prayer, Does it Make Any Difference? p.15.)

God DOESN’T fit into that lifestyle…I believe my faith is a lifestyle. It’s a choice to live my life in a certain way. It’s not always easy, fun or comfortable. Sometimes it’s down right confusing.
I’ve tried atheism. Using sayings like: “live for today”. Doesn’t work, I tell you. Just leaves you more empty, more lonely, even more unfulfilled. It might be fun, but it comes at a steep, steep price. One I’m no longer willing to pay.
My thoughts on the matter!
