The Hamster Wheel

Ever have those days when it feels like life has you running on a hamster wheel? You know the ol'saying, the faster I go, the behinder I get? Well, the more I learn about Jesus, the more it is revealed to me that I've been living on the hamster wheel, and not just taking the occasional spin.

I've just finished reading two very different, but tremendous books, "The Shack" by William P. Young, and "Searching for God Knows What" by Donald Miller. The first one belongs to the genre of Christian fiction, and the second one is more or less a book about the author's theological opinion as to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Like I said, both are very different, but I can't help thinking I've been given 2 special gifts in these amazing reads! I can "think" my way out of most anything, so I just want to stay in the "gifting" for now. I highly recommend both, as one or the other has the potential to change your life, or at the very least your musings about God, Jesus and most certainly "religion". Personally, I hate religion. It has and continues to ruin lives. I will never believe that when God created the universe, that He had religion on the checklist for those He created in His image. But, that's a whole other ball of somethin'... maybe later.

So, I encourage you to step off the hamster wheel - open your heart up to new possibilities and awaken yourselves to the wonder of it all! Perhaps you will find what you've been chasing after has been there all along...

Blessings!
