Ellen and I were talking about how we keep making our world smaller... and smaller... and smaller... while all around us everyone wants to expand... get bigger... acquire more....I called it my narrow  little life.... hmmmm...

Why does that sound negative....?  Maybe because I used to put down people with that description of their narrow little lives?  Do you think that might possibly  have something to do with it?     :)

Man.... I was so caught up in the world's idea of success  thing...I mean.... anyone who wasn't multi-tasking with 70 zillion things on their plate was leading some kind of narrow little existence in their tiny little world. How about that?  Interesting word... this word narrow.  You know Jesus used it when He told us that the gate was narrow... not only narrow but that their would be few who could find it.... He was talking to His followers about that... the wide gate is the world's idea of life and success and wonderfulness... why do you think that the Church has gone thru that wide gate?  You know... the one that says bigger is better that I talked about yesterday... yeah... that one... it is the gate that leads to the destruction of my life.... a life that revolves totally around me.

Narrowness means reduction  of me... it means the end of all my great plans ... they all go into the ground with me and die there... that death leads me into Him... the one who is life.

Hope I just keep getting skinnier.....
