flip the switch

There is a greater meaning in life. To life. I know this. As my father-in-law would say, "I know it in my knower". Y'all know what I'm talking about. Anywho, back to meaning. My life is important. I use my life to better the lives of those around me. My life is a bulb and I can flip the switch. My light turns on and illuminates my immediate surrounding area. Those nearby can see better and some even find their own light switch. There is a ripple effect and soon people whom I have never met and never will meet are finding their light switches all because I chose to flip mine.

Meanwhile, I sit here at work and wonder what I can do to make life more interesting. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot going on in my life. I have an amazing God who has filled me with His spirit and shown me what lies beyond our brief sojourn here on earth as we know it. I have a beautiful adventurous red-head for a wife who is currently pregnant with our first child, an adventure in itself. I have a house to take care of, and a huge family who loves me and loves spending time with me. I have lots of friends and we like doing things together such as playing wow cards. I am a deacon at my church, well, technically the deacon which means I have lots of responsibility. I also have lots of books to read and video games to play, both of which I really enjoy. All of this is piled on top of 9 hours of daily work and an hour and a half of driving. Oh and that job is one that takes years to get really good at so I am constantly learning and asking for help.

Interesting? It shoud be. I think my main problem is that I'm not looking at anything with the right lens. Except my xbox. I like that, but I don't play it as much as I expected I would. Too many other things to do I guess. Anywho, lens. There are times when I look at all I have and all who have me and I just am in awe. I like those times. Those times generally come when someone nearby me flips on their light, and helps me see better.
