We all move about life from day to day, hour to hour, and minute to minute… Often struggling for answers to big life questions. Well, I have been sent to you today to let you know that I have found the answer! At least it feels like the answer... and, it was all born in a text message! Before you actually turn your attention away from these words on this page, just stay with me for minute. Lately as I have been texting friends and families I have noticed that I kept making the same typo over and over again. Every time I went to type "love" the "o" would get mistakenly typed as an "i" (those two letters are right next to one another).

 

This may not seem like a big deal to you, but it was a great moment for me! I realize that perhaps my smartphone was reminding me of a real key life lesson. A lesson that has come to life in the teachings of Jesus and a lesson that likewise dies in the midst of family and relationship conflict. The lesson I came up with from my text typo is this: To love is to live. That's it! That is the answer to any question you or I could come up with. A question about God, resolving resentment, dealing with your family, taking on a new project --- just name something! Deep between any thought or idea or question we could have -- is this answer: To love is to live! You could take that one principal and apply to any situation, circumstance, or problem...To love is to live. So if you are anyone who is interested in breathing in life… The key to it all - is love! So whatever you may be confronting, engaged in or challenged by... Ask yourself this... If I put a little love on it, will it come back to life?
