Life to God's degree

Christ did say to live life to the fullest, but what is the fullest for life?
Is life a Mathematical equation, or is it just a ride to get us to Eternity?
Should life be read as Life to the ME degree, or Life to God's degree?

Life is to short to live in a closet full of junk.
Life is to long to not stop and smell the roses.
Life is not yours to do with as you please.
Life is God's, let Him do as He pleases with you.

Independence

Independence is something every one wishes to be in their life, but what, I ask, is independence?
Is it to be free from all authority? Is it to see the world's standard for life and immediately go in the opposite direction? Must one fight a war for it? Or must one give his "rights" to God, for ones rights are his chains?

The later, my friend, is the one least chosen. Most people in today's world would not assume that freedom and independence go hand in hand, but you can not have one and not have the other, and you can not have either without God.

A little History

Hello,
My name is John Thomas, before I get to far into this I figured I would give you a little history of myself. I was born as were most of you, I hope. I am a Christian and believe that God has plans more amazing than we humans can think. I am also a writer. This blog is a way for me to put my ideas out into the world wide web. I believe that I have covered the basics. Therefore, this last sentence completes the brief history of me.
