LISTEN FOR THE WHISPER....AND OBEY!

Have I gone off the deep-end with this listening to God stuff? Is it even possible to hear God talking to you? Is it even real? I believe it is, do you?

SLEEP!

I know there is nothing in the Bible about this one! And I know there are people on both sides of the fence who would sware that sleeping / or not sleeping gives them LIFE TO THE FULL.

THINK POSITIVE!

Does it really make a difference how you view the world? Is the world going to be the same no matter what type of lenses you view it through? Or does your "filter" really matter?

FORGIVE!

OK, I can't even fathom that you wouldn't agree with me on this one. It just makes so much sense that we would need to get rid of our junk to live LIFE TO THE FULL. But, then again, I've never been really betrayed or hurt or lied to.

FIND YOUR THING, PART 2!

Your passion, your talents, your joys! Are they three huge things to finding out the LIFE TO THE FULL thing? Or is this something that can distract us from just serving others? When we get too focused on ourselves do we miss out on what God wants us to do?

FIND YOUR THING

Let's just take it for granted that there is a God and that He wants to hang out with us - just trust me on that one. Do you think some of us have different ways to connect with Him? Are there even better or worse ways to connect with God? And are we just getting in the way of what God wants to do by even trying to think how we best connect with Him?

CHECK OUT THE SUNSET!

Is there anyone out there who thinks it would have been better for me to stay in the sleeping bag? Does anyone else think we spend way too much time in the "sleeping bag"? Why is that?

DO SOMETHING FOR FREE!

Do we do anything for free? Do we have to? Is there something good that happens when we do this stuff? Or is this just another thing that's not a big deal? Does LIFE TO THE FULL require us to do something for free?

NOTICE THE SMALL THINGS

Kids are a lot better at this than we are - you have to agree with me there. I wonder why that is. When do we learn to miss the little things? But, what do you think? Is it really all that important or needed? And if so, how can we do a better job at it?

STOP CLEANING YOUR HOUSE!

I'd love to hear from some house cleaners here. I know that everyone does not share my opinions on having a clean house. Am I way off in my assumptions on why people feel like they have to have a clean house? Or do people really even think that way? And do you even care if people's houses are clean or not? Heck, maybe you don't even care if your house is clean. Or you might have a great reason that you make sure your house is always clean. That's the great thing about a BLOOK, we can share ideas.

RELAX

Do you think we have a relaxing problem? Do you think most people take time out of their day / week to just relax and recharge? Do we give ourselves permission to do that or do we feel like there's so much we have to get done? Or maybe you think it's not really that big a deal, and it's impossible to even schedule that type of thing in.

SUCK IT UP!

This is one I'd love to have people say about me some day - "he was someone who would Suck It Up and do whatever it took!" Do you think this is that big a deal? If we're going to live LIFE TO THE FULL do we have to be doing the physical stuff? Do we have to take on the hard challenges? Is it really all that crucial that we show our love through our willingness to experience pain?

SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA GET ANGRY!

Does God get angry? I think He does. And I think we should too. How about you - does LIFE TO THE FULL allow for anger? If so, what type of stuff should we get angry about? Even more specific, what kind of stuff drives you past concern, to anger?

GIVE THANKS!

Is it just me, or do we have a hard time being thankful for what we've got? I would really love to know what you think on this one. Most of the people you meet, would you say their "thankful people" or "wish I had people"? And what can we do about it?

GUESS WHAT? THIS LIFE AIN'T PERFECT!

Do you think we, as a society, believe that our lives should be "perfect"? Are we surprised when bad things do happen? Do we concentrate too much on things that don't go our way? And are we any better if we do realize that this life is not perfect?

IF YOU CAN'T SAY SOMETHING NICE....

But those are just my thoughts, what do you think? Are we good at encouraging one another? Why or why not? And do you get the same feeling when you are encouraged as I do? Let us all know.

GET OUT OF THE LAZY BOY!

I'm pretty convinced that exercise is a spiritual discipline. Do you think you can compare exercise and Bible reading? Does exercise really have anything to do with living LIFE TO THE FULL?

DO SOMETHING CRAZY!

Does God really have something crazy He wants each of us to do? Do you really think that we have to do those things to see the power of God? Can we really live out LIFE TO THE FULL without doing something a little wacky?

WHAT ABOUT EATING?

Do you think God is really concerned about what we put into our bodies? Would Jesus throw down some White Castles every now and then? Is what we eat really in line with living LIFE TO THE FULL?

STOP BITING YOUR NAILS!

Do you guys think we worry about too much junk? If so, what role do our possesions play in all that? So you think we need to get rid of some stuff to live out LIFE TO THE FULL?

QUIT YOUR JOB!

Does LIFE TO THE FULL require us to spend more time thinking about our family and community then thinking about our job? Do we have to spend less time at our job to live out LIFE TO THE FULL? What role does our job play in living out LIFE TO THE FULL?
