I was reading at www.karma2grace.org a website maintained by my church an article comparing Chopra to the Bible. It's funny that I understand what Chopra is saying and nearly fell into its practice. It's such an empty, emotionless life. There are such Hindus and Buddhists who reached "Nirvana" or "inner peace" and felt themselves slipping away into anonymous non-existance. That is so not what the Lord wants. It's like extreme escapism and selfishness/self-centeredness as well.
I love what Oswald Chambers said in one of his daily devotionals in "My Utmost for His Highest" about how the Lord does not create Christians for museums, that we must have a living and active faith - we were created for the great adventure as that great Steven Curtis Chapman song goes.
Well, I have been very busy at work, as I mentioned in my previous post. I have three barbecues to go to this weekend, and hopefully we're signing a lease on our new place tomorrow (well...today really...being that it's after midnight and all!) So, we're excited. Tired...but excited. Looking forward to getting things wrapped up and a move date set.
So, I'm catching up on lolfrenz posts and icanhazcheezburger comments, then I'm off to bed!
Good night!
