does coming up witha title here even matter in the grand scheme of things?

there's currently a big sign set up downstairs that says "don't count the days. make the days count." as i am in the habit of counting days (crossing each day off happily or woefully), i start to think...

What if my view on life had the following premises:

1) God is in every moment.(every blink as it connects to every other blink i've ever had/will have. and in the very thread that weaves this moment with all other moments in my life and in the lives of others near far, future, past, present)

2)God can be revealed through every moment/ experience/ breath.

3)God is willing to be known.

4)I cannot even begin to fathom how deeply and brightly God's presence is embedded in each moment.


5)Everything i currently see and believe/ believe that i know is tainted at least in part with assumptions, ignorance, sin...all of which serve to distort my awareness of truth and lead me towards hopelessness, lovelessness, death.

6) the outcome of #5 is not inevitable/permanent. truth has come to set us free :D

7) "What we learn from experience depends on the kind of philosophy we bring to experience" (C.S. Lewis, Miracles)


8) God's way is always best, and just because i don't understand it,just because my understanding is clouded with all the stuff i currently hang onto/ drip in doesn't mean I can't follow Him to the best of my knowledge/strength even if i don't understand why he wants it that way.


maybe that would mean, as the cliche would have it, that every moment counts. that prayer brings us in deeper relationship with Him, not so much to dictate what He should do, but in one way, to draw us to Him and to help us seek Him first...help us to seek Him in every moment,perhaps allowing us(or at least setting up the groundwork for a future ability) to see Him in that moment (and in countless others)...unveiling another layer of blindness from our souls and hearts. i wonder if i believed all this, what conclusions i could come to, how i would treat people, and what joy, peace, adventure life would be.
