The unexplored grand life

Life is grand. It is truly sad to me, that so many people plod through life without ever really taking into consideration the scope of the experience God has placed our mortal frames into. This enormity, this grand scope of life, is felt when I consider my child running in play. On what career path will she sojourn? So many and varied and nuanced are the roads ahead, that I scarcely have a hope of guessing correctly whether she will be a financier, teacher, stay-at-home mother, president or prime minister, or a totally new career which today has not even been imagined. My mind cannot encompass the possibilities. Yet, there are people who live more bored with each passing day. Totally unable to take an interest in ideas, moving events, or infuriating debates. This is not my life. When God takes me away from this space, and gives it over to others, I know that I will be disappointed. There will be so many projects left undone. So many conversations left to be said. So many ideas left undeveloped. So many books unread. so many aspirations unfulfilled. Yet when He takes me away, I will at the same time look forward to eternity where I can continue to explore This Grand Life.

For now, these postings are some reflections on where I am spending my life. Thankyou for stopping by.
