after yesterday’s study (on contentment and a theology of enough), it seems slightly hypocritical to have my mind wandering to things i want. it’s humbling to fall so far short…
so, rather than give you a list of things i want right now, i think i’ll pass on some things i wish. for some reason, these things don’t sound nearly as self-centered and discontent. some are kind of personal. others are pretty general. none are deal-breakers.
i wish people would be more respectful of other’s political positions. i wish my jeep got better gas mileage.i wish my hands didn’t feel like my knees. i wish the broncos and the raiders would play each other every week. i wish we would have had 41 consecutive 100 degree days. i wish we had more sundays when everybody showed up. i wish jack bauer would hurry and come back. i wish we could find a new church bus right now…for free. i wish i had a reason to use my sawzall right now. i wish it would rain. i wish the BCS would blow up. i wish i had an easier time reading and praying early in the morning. i wish i had an airprint compatible printer. i wish i spoke spanish better. i wish i had a better fantasy football team. mine sucks. i wish my dogs behaved better. i wish more people understood the greatness of baseball. i wish people would read more. i wish the chargers would finally figure it out. i wish i could go whitewater canoeing again one more time. i wish we could learn that believing the same stuff is not a prerequisite to loving people. i wish i could still watch sportscenter at night with my boys. i wish we had more time to sing on sunday mornings. i wish we had a few more people to work with our youth group. i wish we had sodas and ice tea on sunday mornings, instead of coffee. i wish cashews and almonds weren’t so expensive. i wish i could figure out how to control my bowling hook.
so that’s what i’m wishing tonight. what are you wishing for? are any of your wishes a possibility? what do you need to be doing to make them happen?
