Leveling Up!

Sun

58 Earth revolutions around the Sun previous my wonderful mother pushed me into the world. These 232 awesome equinoxes have been a blast. This life God has blessed me with is amazing. Thank you!

I have decided to retire the term “years old” referring to my age. “Years old” has the  expiration date charm of refrigerated cheese.

I am officially and from now on 58 levels.  Next December I have the privilege of attaining level 59! Then 60! 

You cannot progress to the next level of a video game until you have mastered the lower levels. Leveling up requires expertise, patience, and confidence.

Honest?  I would not want to be level 20 again. Why? At level 20 I was a self proclaimed genius with expert insight into every subject I had never studied. My rocket science degree was earned on a bar stool. Learning at level 20 requires inordinate amounts of failure.  Level 58 is amazing. Socrates once said. “One thing I know is that I do not know.“  What I know at level 58 is that I am not God, I don’t know…but I am exhilarated to find out.

Can’t wait until level 59 and beyond. Think of the truth we will experience together!  Consider the love and depth we can know.

On Mars each day is called a Sol. Can we be mindful and grateful for the truth of today…the reality of this Sol? Can I be grateful for my family, for provision, for sunlight, for love, for the presence of God?

Doesn’t the gratitude for today’s revolution around the sun mean we earn the privilege of leveling up?

One thought on “Leveling Up!

  1. I like how you regard age as gaining more levels instead of getting older. It puts a whole different meaning to learning, growing, and understanding. Everyday our Heavenly Father gives us the gift of mercy, grace, forgiveness and love to help us reach the next level. God knows our nature and wants us to learn and grow from our past, and to continue forge forward no matter how long it takes to reach the next level. Thank you for shedding a different and positive light on what it is in gaining more years on this world of ours.
