We all live in the presence of "ideas." We live in homes that used to be an "idea," we drove to work in what was once an "idea," we flew to our favorite vacation spot in an airplane that is an "idea" turned into reality. Ideas drive the world ... and destroy it.

What do you really "think" when you think of "God"? Since our minds "think" in images, stories and patterns, what "images, stories and patterns" come to mind when you think of God? Just like my next meal refreshes me, so I need to refresh my regular thoughts of my Father in the heavenlies. And, just as gaining the proper nutrients is vital to my well-being, so growing in my appreciation for God through how I "think" of him is also vital for my whole-being.

Idea - here's a quote for you to munch on over the next few days/weeks:

Do you remember when Grandpa drove real slow while taking you to the tractor pull at the local fair? Now that you're a grandpa, you think nothing of going a "little" faster than the speed limit on your way to see a NASCAR race!
