LIVING IT UP

   

   Dear All of Us,

     Come on!

   Let's fasten

  our seat belts

        and

   try a touch

         of

    Fantasy Fun


  Here goes!


Our never met,

nor ever known, 

common cousin

five times removed

is skink'n wealthy.

He is a quirky recluse

living in a 

super spectacular, 

outlandishly

high tech villa

high in the Andes.

He recently had 

a delivery 

of one of those 

new fangled

      AI Gizmos

and he traced us all down.

Now, he's big into both  

surprises and generosity.

So, look in your 

mailbox,

ok your email,

for a special delivery notice.

By supper tonight,

in your favorite color,

in your driveway,

will be the most

outstandingly crafted,

quality controlled,

exquisitely engineered, 

absolutely newest, hottest, 

Twin Torgue,

789 horse power, 

         V8

   Lamborghini.

        AND

in your bank account 

will be $500,000

for gas and insurance.

The absolutely only thing 

to do is hop in 

and go like hell.

Leaving it on the driveway

for fear of getting a dent in it

is sheer stupid.


OK, back down to earth 

about lifting up

heavenly things,

and out pacing 

any Lamborghini.


We human beings are

divinely created and crafted.

The genius, intricacy, potential

of us leaves a Lamborghini 

          in the dust 

and any amount of money 

          worthless.

The only thing to do is

hop into full torque living 

and go like heaven!

Sitting still for 

fear of anything 

is sheer stupid.

We are given 

      US

to go full tilt at 

 LIVING IT UP


Long ago 

there was a

deeply wise Bishop 

and Doctor of the Church

Saint Irenaeus - 

He put us right,

said it simple straight:

  

  "The glory of God 

    is a human being 

    fully alive."


       WOW!  

What gets God 

going and glowing 

is us doing just that!

The HOT that is GOD

fires up, flames forth,

glows baby, glows

through us fully 

LIVING IT UP


We're created to 

   GOD GLOW

to let light shine 

through every 

bit and brilliance 

      of us.

No body shaming allowed.

No self-doubting permitted.

No bunker hiding possible.

No inferiority complexes.

We are all more than 

      life ready 

in our unique customizing.

So go glow we do.

Extroverts dizzy dance life.

Introverts slow waltz it.

Talents, traits, 

gifts, graces, 

all ignited, ablaze  

in their fullness.

It's Glorious.


We tend to think 

that we give glory 

     to God.

Actually, it's dual deal.

God radiates out 

from our center.

        It's 

        US

   Living It Up

It's God Glorious.


In our Fun Fantasy

that Lamborghini

is valued around 

    $350,000

We are priceless:

" I thank you, High God -

  you're breathtaking!

  Body and soul, 

  I am marvelously made!

  I worship in adoration -

  what a creation!"

       Psalm 139: 14

       The Message


 "God spoke:

  'Let us make

  human beings 

  in our image, 

  make them 

  reflecting 

  our nature.'"

      Genesis 1: 26

       The Message

 "reflecting" God's Nature.

     Awesome glorious!


Talk about 

exquisite engineering.

What quality control.


That eight cylinder

Lamborghini

wouldn't dream

of firing

on a cylinder or two.

Nor should we.  


The denizens of 

      foul up

dictate only select sorts

are road worth in life, 

permitted in the 

fast lane.

They're driving backward 

on a detour.

We can't let them 

slow us down 

or misdirect us.

We're too busy 

zipping along

Route Real

Living It Up


We're comfortable 

in our own skin.

It's God Given.

It's how God wants 

to happen in us, 

through us,

Glow Glorious 

      in us.

That's awesome 

     sacred.

We fire on every 

God Given 

ability, talent,

shape, tone,

  particular,

     of us

     as is, 

as God Given, 

as God Glowing 

as we are

Living It Up.
