Rueby Tuesday:
With his sights now set on Saturn, Reubs is counting the cost. Is it worth the risk, the danger?

I'm personally thinking about staying on the ground. Books like 'The Purpose Driven life' and 'Wild at Heart' have inspired me to dream big and accomplish something in this life. But isn't it better to just be happy and grateful for what I already have?

'Wild at heart' makes a good case for the male soul needing a dream to chase, a battle to fight, or some kind of challenge -Yet the old wisdom of counting your blessings, wanting less and giving much seems to contradict that.

Often I think about my creativity and wonder why I've never succeeded at art. "There must be something wrong with me", I sometimes think. "But I thought I was a really really positive person!"

I'm a happy person -blessed beyond belief. But like everyone else, sometimes I get a little depressed. I'll let Reuben explore the far reaches of space -if I never achieve anything, I guess that's okay.

"From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded" -Luke 12:48

A devout life does bring wealth, but it's the rich simplicity of being yourself before God. Since we entered the world penniless and will leave it penniless, if we have bread on the table and shoes on our feet, that's enough. But if it's only money these leaders are after, they'll self-destruct in no time. Lust for money brings trouble and nothing but trouble. Going down that path, some lose their footing in the faith completely and live to regret it bitterly ever after. But you, Timothy, man of God: Run for your life from all this. Pursue a righteous life--a life of wonder, faith, love, steadiness, courtesy. Run hard and fast in the faith. Seize the eternal life, the life you were called to, the life you so fervently embraced in the presence of so many witnesses. (1Ti 6:6-12, The Message)
