I need to approach my Father in heaven as if I were three feet tall and short on life experience.

Sit in the pigpen with people of ill intent, and see how quickly you, too, start to stink.

Ask if you need to, but don’t assume. Sometimes our bad feelings are only assumptions and speculations doing dark dances in our heads.

That’s how I think of God: infinitely creative and imaginative, waiting to place us in some truly awesome scenarios.

But God doesn’t just hang there while we get on with the rest of our week. He’s up to a lot of other really cool stuff. Let’s follow Him around and be part of it. I’m in! Are you?

Who we really are shows up between extending the olive branch and waiting to see if it is received.
