Thrilling 15?

God's Boys will be good boys!

Disenchantment begins at 15, mostly. What else is there? This question can lead us down many a wrong path. Where am I? What is life about and for? Where are the thrills that I was looking for? Your soul is not a closet for packing as much as you can. Your soul is for instructing and considering. We try to thrill our own souls and overwhelm our senses with every consideration. Not good. Do you love life and want to see good days? says the Psalmist. Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking guile. What does that have to do with thrills and goodness? we wonder? Carefully dancing around the considerations is walking circumspectly. Thinking and planning and keeping your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking guile. Is this thing that I am doing a real recreation? Is it an edification?
In a way our 15 age is the age that we realize that we do have some authority about where we are going and we do have some determination. Pacing yourself, instructing your conscience and doing all that is in your hand to do. With your might, do it. That which you can do with a good conscience, do it. Enjoy it and then go on to the next thing. Birthdays are for repenting. Birthdays are for planning and birthdays are for dreaming. Keep on dancing and keep on dreaming.
