I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in. ~John Muir

Thoughts become things. In the beginning there was nothing, only a void, and with a single thought the Universe was created. So many religious people talk about or “reward,” or heaven if you will, the place we all go to, to leave this “awful” existence when we die. We’ve all seen the bumper sticker, “Life’s a bitch, and then you die.”

Today I am grateful for my life on this planet. Heaven, if there truly is one, according to scripture is an amazing place, however, if God did create the Universe, and ultimately our planet, then this must be a very special place too. There is a reason he wanted us to experience this, and I refuse to believe that somehow it was only designed as some sort of test, to see if we are deserving of our next plane of existence.

I think if there is truly sin, the only sin that would offend a God, any God(s), would be to accept such a beautiful gift, and not take advantage of every possibility or opportunity it has to offer.

Our lives were not meant to be lead in quiet desperation, but in joy, in abundance of all things spiritual, financial, mental, and physical.

Stop and not only should you smell the roses, but just stare at them for a little bit today, be still and know that there is God.
