My niece was at my parents house today and we decided to play hooky from work (well I did) to have a little fun. We started by making bracelets (check out the picture of the one my niece made). Then we saw a bag of chocolate chips in the freezer and thought… lets make chocolate chip cookies. We neglected to check and see if we had the rest of the ingredients before starting. Needless to say we did not but decided to make due with what we had and see what happened. Check out the picture of our cookies. In the words of 5 year old “it doesn’t matter what they look like as long as they taste good, and they taste good.” (Picture also included), then Grandpa said “lets go on a bike ride” so off we went. We were gone for a long time and even stopped at a cemetery to see the gravestones from the 1800’s… kinda cool! When we were riding back my niece said “that was a fun day” and it was! Thanks for the fun day!!

Living Your Dream
This morning I was listening to Erwin McManus (<a href="http://mosaic.org/podcast/">http://mosaic.org/podcast/</a>) and his message was about living your dream. Surprisingly he wasn't challenging people to live their dream. He was asking, if you were to live your dream, would the world be a better place. Our dreams affect each other - one person's dream might be another person's nightmare. What is our motivation for wanting to live out our dream? We see examples of people trying to live out their dream on reality TV all the time; people who want to be the next American Idol, the Biggest Loser or the ex-bachelor or ex-bachelorette because if they win, they will have "fulfilled their dream" and hopefully found the peace and joy that we are all pursuing.
So back to the question: If you were able to live out your dream, would the world be a better place? If the answer is, "No" then maybe you should reconsider your dream and if the answer is, "Yes" but your actually not living your dream - why not?
