BMW motorcycles & being here now
I enjoy synchronistic moments like the one I’m about to relate to you, and my life is full of them. My neighbor loaned me his DVD copy of Long Way Round
“I feel like I absolutely belong in this moment now. It’s where I should be, and luckily it’s where I find myself! (laughs)”
Beautiful words! That’s how I’m feeling these days. This morning as I was reading Chambers
“We must never put our dreams of success as God’s purpose for us; his purpose may be exactly the opposite. We have an idea that God is leading us to a particular end, a desired goal; he is not… his end is the process—that I see him walking on the waves, no shore in sight, no success, no goal, just the absolute certainty that it is alright…”.
Same idea in different words. Like U2 sings“Beautiful Day”
I totally agree. Beautifully said. If we can just let ourselves relax in God’s care and stop fretting, believing in his promises, that’s the place to be, to live in the moment!
right on.
bloom where you’re planted.
eke the quest from the question.
but i do have to ask- is it a real or merely imagined connection between redical church pastors (or pastors of radical churches) and big honkin’ motorcycles?
My brother told me of a pastor who called his motorcycle “Visitation”. That way, whenever someone called looking for him, they could say, “I’m sorry, but the pastor’s out on Visitation!”
A beautiful and controversy-free blog entry. Thanks for sharing this.
My children seem to get this intuitively and don’t seem to know how to live otherwise. What do you think causes us to grow out of this as we age and how can we help our kids prevent it?
Jeff. There you go worrying again. Go ride your M.C. and enjoy the moment.
