Streams II

Sunshine brings warmth.
I took my shirt off at the office today. Sat for a couple hours just rocking the white T.
I've been thinking a lot lately.
What am I doing with my life.
Part of it is going very well. I'm living in a foreign country. I have a good paying job. I have an awesome girlfriend. I squeeze out something creative from time to time.
I still feel that I'm not living up to my potential.
Most of the time, as this happens frequently, I berate myself for not having done better since the last time I berated myself for not having done better. Obviously, this has not produced the desired results.
There is no one that has the power to make me do anything or hold me back.
Except, of course, myself.
I am the omniscient emperor of Adam.

Now, to decide what to do with that.

Today

I thought about me.
I thought about God.
I thought about Christianity.
I wondered what it means to be a Christian.
I wondered why it seems so difficult to define.
I wondered why so many scramble for just the title.
I asked what was expected of me.
I asked what I expected of me.
I asked why it mattered.
I took a moment to enjoy the sun.
I took the chance to play football with strangers.
I took the opportunity to talk to someone.
I hoped I would do the same tomorrow.
