linger

i wish we could begin to attain a better understanding of what it's like to linger.

we rush everything. we never let something stick around.

everything is express. nothing is soak-in material for us.

maybe it's because we're all ADD now. too many things to keep us occupied, that we don't have to pick just one to do for longer than twenty minutes.

i love to linger in the presence of good worship and Jesus.

but sometimes i cut that time short, because i know there are other fun things to do.

or maybe it comes from this mentality we have. the mentality that too much of a good thing will
take away it's goodness.

which i suppose is true in some cases. like the instance when you're seven, and your best friend has just come over. you never want it to end, so you ask them to sleepover, and a very hesitant mother agrees, knowing you will be ready to kill your "best friend" in the morning from too much time spent with them.

but, how much is "too much" when it comes to truly good things?

none. no amount of time could ever be too much.

so, i guess the time comes to label what is "good".

however, it isn't my duty to label what is good in your life.

i'll leave you to that.
