i know that seems redundant but humor me…

Here’s a list of things i do everyday, some are intentional… others are essential… regardless of their reason for happening… every single day of my life:

- I rest/sleep.

- I eat.

- I exercise.

- I interact with people.

- I drink coffee.

- I commute.

- I make plans.

- I love.

- I pursue relationships.

- I laugh.

- I dream.

- I try to be creative.

- I try to make creative theories tangible realities.

- I eat some more.

- I watch Sports Center.

- I receive love.

- I seek wisdom.

- I try to pass wisdom along.

- I talk more than i should.

- I listen… sometimes.

- i read… too many blogs.

- I write… too many blogs.

As i do all of these things… Somedays it all happens just like the day before…

Other days it gets completely turned on its head…

But everyday there can only be ONE number 1.

As i was reading and writing the other morning i was struck that i get to make this decision everyday— and if i abdicate this decision… then i make it regardless.

*We are commanded that The Gospel of Christ is to be of FIRST IMPORTANCE… every single day of our lives…

“If there’s anything in life that we should be passionate about , it’s the gospel.  And I don’t mean passionate about only sharing it with others.  I mean passionate about thinking about it, dwelling in it, rejoicing in it, allowing it to color the way we look at the world.  Only one thing can be of first importance to each of us.  And only the gospel ought to be.” - C.J. Mahaney,  The Cross Centered Life
