My boys have heelies, they’re cool.  In case you don’t know, “heelies” are the shoes with roller skates built in. If you see the kids in the mall cruising around, they’re wearing heelies.

Anyways, it sure seems to make walking around more fun for them.  When i walk from point A to point B, it’s boring.  It’s work.  For my kids, it’s an opportunity to cruise by.  They’re smiling.  They’re laughing.  I’m jealous.  I want heelies!

What if the world looked at Christians like that?  What if they looked at us and thought, “boy, life sure looks fun for them”?  Or, “they’re cool, they’re just cruising along”.  I think it’d be cool if the world looked at Christ-followers with jealousy, and wanted what we have.

You know, i think that’s what Jesus intended us to be like.  However, so often we make walking through life look boring, like it’s work.  How could we live life “to all it’s fullness” as Christ intended?  What would that mean to your life?  I want to be a part of a movement of people trying to live that out…

Matthew 5:14-16 (NLT) 
    You are the light of the world—like a city on a mountain, glowing in the night for all to see. [15] Don’t hide your light under a basket! Instead, put it on a stand and let it shine for all. [16] In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.
