We seek excitement and adventure. We seem to be hard-wired for it. Climbing mountains and whitewater rafting are fun. I have never engaged in either. Hunting is a popular sport. Again, I have never hunted. Skiing appears exhilarating. I have never skied. I had a pair of skates when I was young, but I fell down a lot. We kids played compulsory Steal the Bacon. I never captured the Bacon. I do enjoy eating Bacon. I do not think that counts.

Adrenaline is addictive. I have felt the rush. Faith in Christ gave me an adrenaline rush that has never left me. I am happy when I see the poor comforted and the hungry fed. Those of us who have experienced irregular days know the joy of the regular ones. The majority of life is regular days. It is easy to allow them to pass unnoticed. Those days when nothing changes and nothing is worse for wear. The days when our sense of place is foundational and our peace is quiet and real. A good routine is our place in the plan. Laughter comes from the bottom of our hearts, and hope is a wellspring.

Life passes rapidly when we ignore the regular days. Most days are unchanging as we wait for the next holiday or special event. Too much emphasis on the Big Day leaves us languishing beside the ocean of our days, waiting for the magic moment. We become old and recall only a few days of our special lives.

‘Life is a grand gift,’ Chet proclaimed. ‘Each day I look for the Secret,’ Chet continued. ‘I enjoy an Oscar Mayer Weiner uncooked with a little relish and mustard,’ Chet smiled. ‘The mystery of time and our place in it intrigues me,’ Chet said. ‘Life is a bit like a television show has a new episode each week,’ Chet observed. ‘Each day is another page of our story,’ He winked. ‘Some days are for building the theme and the progression of the plot,’ Chet noted. ‘Many of those days are for fishing,’ Chet laughed.

‘I enjoy the regular days as I have experienced many irregular ones,’ Neva J commented. ‘Regular days highlight the blessing of life,’ Neva J offered. ‘I experienced divorce that devastated me,’ Neva J said softly. ‘If I had not been so focused on every day being a red letter day, I would probably not have been divorced,’ Neva J said. ‘Now I understand that each day is a vital square of the Quilt Of Our Lives,’ Neva J said with conviction. ‘When I lay my head down to rest on my Beauty Rest Pillow, I know that I am God’s child and a part of his plan,’ Neva J smiled.

‘Don’t you crave more?’ Voice In The Ear asked? ‘Others are having more fun and much more excitement than you,’ VITE assured. ‘Do not listen to the meek and mild but rather to the risk takers and movers and shakers,’ Voice said with a sly grin. ‘Be unhappy if you are not drinking the nectar from the fruit of your life and letting the juice run down your chin,’ Voice said. ‘I am a Life Coach to many and I have many fans,’ the Voice said. ‘Constant movement and engagement in adrenaline activities is the goal for life,’ the Voice whispered. ‘Watch your leaders and their constant quest to make America great again,’ Voice assured. ‘You can be part of that if you will just take my advice and forsake your boring life,’ the Voice noted with a smile. ‘I have led great leaders such as Hitler and Mussolini, Pontius was my mentee…I almost had Jesus, but he chose to go another way,’ the Voice assured. ‘Constant activity and the pursuit of money is the goal of life, including Christian life, and the poor and hungry have little to do with the journey,’ Voice said with wide eyes of fire.
