There have been 3 advertisements today that caught my attention. I can only remember 2. An ad for a local casino with a guy saying, "I take happiness in all sizes: $5, $10, $25, $50, & $100." Another one said "We've all dreamed of something bigger." What was the "bigger"? The TV show Friday Night Lights on NBC. Don't be fooled. Money does not equate to happiness and Friday Night Lights (the TV show or actually playing) is not the something bigger we all long for. They fill for a moment but don't satisfy. Only Snickers does that. I joke. I kid.
The question I used to ask myself almost daily is "What is it all about?" A couple of weeks ago something changed. Bethel theology professor David Clark once remarked, "Sometimes theology answers your question and sometimes theology changes your question." Theology changed my question. No longer do I simply ask, "What is it all about?" Recently I have taken to asking, "Who is it all about?" i'm founding out that as I learn to answer that correctly the what comes much more easily.
Ans: Who is God. He is the happiness and something bigger.
