Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Have you ever felt like all the love in your heart is directed in all the wrong places? Like you've put your last quarter in the near extinct payphone only to pick up the receiver of the phone next to it and not get a dialtone? There's that panic involved in letting that last quarter loose and not having your emergency call tap through. Guess that's what happens when you don't intentionally seek after God. You love the things of this world, but the things of this world build you up and up and up, then suddenly drop you off a 10 story cliff. That's the day you wake up and are bewildered to realize that you've gone way past your exit. So not only will you be late getting to where you're going, but you might also run out of gas turning back. It's all about pain. Pain that you've brought on yourself.

Redemption, fulfillment, and joy. What does it all mean?

Go ahead, world, take your best shot. I've been there before; I'm ready to fall again.
