Living on Empty …

Cracked jars.  

Broken glasses.

Empty cisterns.

An endless blackhole in our soul that drains all our passion, energy and zest for life.  

We feel it all the time.  

Which kind of explains all the “busy-ness” & “entertainment” we stuff our lives with to somehow avoid dealing with it.  

With food, music, movies, games, social media, & one night stands - - - we try block that big ole’ “blackhole” in our souls.  

What are you exactly looking for on tumblr?

What are you trying to fill through facebook?

What are you really doing when you’re on youtube?

What role does games, sports and media play in your life?

Then, there are those times, very rare, but those times when we come face to face with something or someone real.

A real conversation.

A real encounter.

A real heart to heart.

A real catharsis & waking of the soul.

Maybe through a book, through a person, through an event, through solitude, through accidents, through crisis, through real life-changing relationships … 

it finally dawns on you, and you come alive.

Why is it that we often make the mistake of trying to find that which we need in everything else but God?  Our families?  Our loved ones?  And through real engaging and serving relationships?

It’s time you ask that question to yourself.  

Before you go to sleep or … 

go through yet another insomnia while surfing through endless contents on the web to keep your mind “busy” from thinking about what really matters.
