My wife and Jimmy (worship leader at Terra Nova) are watching American Idol while I try to ignore it and do stuff...but it is hard to ignore. Some 16 year-old sang and it dawned on me that she was born the year Christan and I got married. We are now old enough to have kids who could be on American Idol.
I'm old.
I guess I should have some spiritual twist to this post, but I'm not sure what it is. Maybe we all need to reach that point where we allow our feet to settle firmly in reality and start living out of that position.
Do you have a realistic view of the world around you? Do you have a realistic view of yourself and how God sees you? Even if you're old.

Take it from one who is older than you: you are not old. If you were old I would be older still and I am definitely not. I am not in denial about my age or trying to represent it as anything other than what it is. It's just that I have decided to live my life fully and completely regardless of my age. I believe you are there also.
As for planting our feet firmly in reality I would want to ask what reality? The reality that you and I live in is the presence of Jesus Christ in our lives and the passionate pursuit of his kingdom and his return. Joel has said:
"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.
(Joel 2:28)
Our reality is to continue to dream dreams!
Blessings to you my friend
