Are we there yet?
I think the idea of a destination for our lives is a bit silly. I mean so much of everything we do in our life has some end goal in mind; I get the degree to get the job, to get the stuff, to live the life. The problem with all this end game mentality that we are always looking at the end of the tunnel and missing the mosaics on the wall. Christianity I think has been interpretted through this lens of the end, the problem for me is that it was never supposed to be about the end. Once christianity becomes about the end we forget about the poor in our community and around the world, we forget about destroying our home through poor environmental practices etc, Wasn't Jesus' message about God's kingdom right here right now, It's a difficult mindset to keep what with our end focused culture but hey maybe it's time for a shift in focus because, "Only the journey is written, not the destination"
