Alas, my friends, we find ourselves badgering to and fro on an even worse situation: we think that our actions aren’t “good enough”. “Enough”, by Merriam and Webster, means “sufficient”. “Sufficient”, on the other hand, is defined as “adequate to accomplish a purpose or meet a need”. Look at these words: “adequate”, “accomplish”, “purpose”, “need”. These words intimate weight: they give a glimpse of what we are looking at in today’s society.

(Para mi abuela, Luz María Pimentel Ríos…) How do you measure life? Success, wealth, fame, or just how many people are attracted to them? How many stupid stunts, number-one hits, or entrepreneurial projects had to be in check in order to win the admiration of everyone? Or that copious amount of time spent on celebrities gawking at them with either adulation, or envy? Yes, my friends: we’re used into looking at life the wrong way. (Sorry I haven’t been writing recently! I’ve got a few projects in store –and a few announcements pending! Have a merry Christmas, and I hope to see you next week and write my last post of 2011! Here’s something I wrote from December 22, 2010…) Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. –Romans 5:18, NIV 2010 |
