In the Good

In the ever growing expanse of moral decay that faces human civilization, we have bastardized the good.  We scoff at it in our decrepit jealousies and debase it in our hearts - when secretly we know that being good rings of something long forgotten in our souls. 

It is in the Good where romance still lives. It is in the Good, where chivalry is more than opening a door. It is in the Good where a rose smells sweet, stars are amazing things, falling leaves are inspirational, and home cooked meals are savored - not for their flavors, but for the laughter and the sharing of the meal. 

It is in the Good that we find inspiration instead of aspiration. 

Life blooms in the good. Yet we have been dying for so long that we fear to remove the cancer of our warped sensibilities. We are afraid of the gaping hole that will be left in our soul if we were to truly embrace the whole of Good. But I contend that it is to the Good, and to God that we must direct the course of our lives - for little time is left. 

With what breaths we have remaining, we should seek out and enjoy the vibrancy of lives like those that do good - but not because of who they are, but more so for who they represent and follow (Christ Jesus). And we should seek to emulate them in our own lives. 

To die some day without eternity harbored in our soul - clean, pure, and vibrant, is a waste.  

No my friends, being good is not boring. It is a hallmark of truly living - it is divine.
