simple pleasures


so, for one second, forgetting theology, forgetting the little things that we make so so important... is where i find my solice. i think that the little pleasures we enjoy are the moments that get us through life. we start off so simple.....then we become complex. after college life was easy....then marriage....then kids...and its all fantastic....but it just adds more and if you slip up for a second and lose your balance, its no longer just your life you have to pick back up again. its everyone's. how do you get through...the simple pleasures...the little things God lets us enjoy that just move us to the next. last night i was in a weird place. i was home, which isnt too weird, but i was very tired but couldnt sleep. i sat on my porch and felt the wind..... it was nice... i lit a new cigar that i have yet to try (a ghurka G3)...i watched the police cars chase crooks through price hill...i just sat....all was right in the world once more. it reminds me of the above painting, my favorite piece of art, its called Creation by Michael Parks. i look at it and it reminds me that my job here is to create. its what God has made me to do....
