Sacred Things

There are some things in this world that should be held close to us, and never let go... things that make us feel good, or give us strong emotions that remind us we're alive...

THINGS I LOVE:

The smile on my 6 month old granddaughter's face when I walk into the room and speak to her... her giggling laugh that's full of sweet, pure, innocent joy...

Touching my wife... just being able to reach out and feel her skin, hold her, know that she's near me... her touching me... (even though I'm ticklish as hell)... knowing that she wants to be near me, and that she loves me...

Watching the Sun rise... where I grew up in southeastern New Mexico, in the desert grasslands, on a partly cloudy morning... that magic hour or so, from about half an hour before the Sun breaks the horizon, to a half hour after it fully clears the horizon... the colors blasted onto the clouds, oranges, reds, even purple... starting the day with a show like that was amazing...

Watching the Sun set... for most of the same reasons as above, ending the day with a beautiful sunset was a promise of good things to come...

Women... just the way they are, physically and emotionally beautiful... when a woman laughs, it means to me that good things are happening...

Good food... when I eat something I'm in the mood for, and it's as good as I hoped it would be... it's a natural satisfaction that's better than drugs...

Having a really good day with my family and/or friends... when I just hang out with everyone, and we all laugh and just have fun... that's what life's really about...


All of the things above are things which make me feel good about life, and as such, here in the Church of Me, these things are to be held Sacred in my worship...
