Life
I'm so sick of being entertained.
I'm sick of being distracted away from the opportunity to think about the bigger picture.
I'm sick of seeing everyone drawn into this mall culture, this overload of useless, fleeting information.
This ideal life of stress and busyness, of obsession and idolising, is just so hollow, and most of the time we are just too cowardly to step outside of it.
Movies. ipod plug in and go. Personal comfort bubbles. 2 minute noodles. Internet shopping. Nine to Five excuses for survival. Sunday churches to put your churning spirit at ease.
I want something thats real.
I want something to live for, a reason to breathe, a hope for more than just this manufactured perfection.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12

'life is too short to sit and let it pass you by' i think i heard some one say that but i can't remember. but its true, we need to get hold of the bigger picture and let it guide our every move.
as your not staying in one place atm it must be quite hard to get hold of some thing to do thats worth while and able to do in a short period of time. just stay close to god.
