== Living Life to the Fullest ==

We all want to live life to the fullest ... but what does that look like? The fallen world we live in will suggest many answers, including: wealth, power, fame, honor, extended life by medicine or possibly robotics, and all the physical comforts and pleasures you can list. Yet striving for these things has repeatedly shown they bring pride, selfishness and competition, as well as much pain in the world.

Scripture paints a very different picture of how living Life to the fullest appears. Within it, are concepts describing what helps life and what harms life. Which things belong to the Kingdom of Light and which things belong to the Kingdom of Darkness. When we apply this wisdom to living Life to the fullest, we find three major categories to consider:

'''Eternal Life''' You cannot have life to the full without eternal life ... and you cannot have eternal life without humbling yourself, admitting your sin, and asking the Savior to take your place in punishment for the wicked things you have done. This requires an understanding of the beauty of truth, righteousness, innocence, and purity - that starts small and grows over time. It is not something you can earn, but something that is offered and given by our wonderful Creator.

'''Peace for Yourself and Love for Others''' Life will become fuller when you have peace and love. Peace and contentment are internal things you can have no matter your external circumstances. It includes both the physical care of the body, the spiritual care of the soul, as well as a depth of knowing that death need only be a temporary setback. Love, compassion, and caring for others is how we should relate to one another. We, ourselves, have benefited from the Eternal's mercy and forgiveness ... we should grant these same things to others around us. 

'''A Close Personal Relationship with the Eternal''' Life will become fullest when a close personal relationship with the Eternal is developed. Growing relationships require spending time together, and it is no different with the Almighty. Do we share our life with Him? Do we spend time in His word? Not surprisingly, such a relationship will, over time, motivate a person to work for the Kingdom of Heaven in some way ... often helping others to have eternal life, grow in peace and love, or building their own close relationship ... causing others to have a full, fuller, and fullest life as well.

This website is the sharing of what the pursuit of living life to the fullest has looked like in my life. The first twenty-five years being more in search of worldly things with an emphasis on knowledge. The second twenty-five years a slow learning of what the Eternal has told us through His word ... with a  personal emphasis on understanding creation and the preciousness of life. And, as I have entered the third twenty-five years of my life, hoping to share what is truly important in a heavenly view rather than what is presented as urgent in a worldly view.

==Reaching for Higher Ground==
A few basic truths will answer a thousand other questions regarding life, morality, forgiveness, eternity, and honor while falsehood will produce a set of philosophies, beliefs, and worldviews on a physical base lacking any depth.   There are many battlefields, but sharing how to discern truth and falsehood will shield believers from harm and restore justice to their lives. 
*[[Kingdom of Heaven Summary]] Truth is a pre-requisite for purity and righteousness while falsehood wastes our resources, relationships, and respect. The truth of the Kingdom of Heaven will bring salvation, wisdom, hope, blessing, and miracles while lies will destroy our faith, promote foolishness, and move us in the wrong direction.
*[[Two Trees Summary]] Truth will reveal how corrupt, sinful, wicked, and post-truth the world really is and expose what we genuinely treasure for this life and the next as well as what we are willing to work for.
