hanging out for a living

This is just a quick post to encourage you to go read a really great article on the value of hanging out. This is something I just love and wish that someone would sponsor me to do this, so that I didn't have to sit behind a desk all day. Or that I'd just get a job where I could do meaningful conversations and building relationships like this. Anyway, here's the website, and here's my friend's site who referred me to the article.

I love hearing stories; I love helping with a listening ear; I love to make people feel how important they are to the Lord by showing them how important they are to His people. This is a great aspiration for Christians everywhere to be salt and light in the world.

I don't claim to be great, but my desire is to live well right where God has me today. It's been easy to deceive myself into thinking greatness is something "out there" that I define and pursue, when in reality greatness happens right here through living and loving well and looking back to see how great God has been to work through me in spite of myself.

Traveling, culture, change, communicating, being out-of-the-box - these things, though I'm passionate for them, pale in comparison to the ONE THING I desire to be about.

"Love is doing what will enthrall the beloved with the greatest and longest joy. What will enthrall the beloved this way is the glory of God. Love means doing all we can, at whatever cost to ourselves, to help people be enthralled with the glory of God. When they are, they are satisfied and God is glorified. Therefore loving people and glorifying God are one." ~ John Piper

"Faith has joy at its heart: it is being satisfied with all that God is for us in Jesus. Therefore, the 'good fight of faith' is a fight for joy." ~ John Piper (full seminar text)
