Mundane Fun

“Unless you change and become like little children,

you will never enter the kingdom.”

– Jesus Christ

From the florescent glow of the voluminous lights overhead, I let my child-like enthusiasm lead.  I let my hope escape.  I pursue it.  Winded I catch up with it.  It moves again, it disappears over a tar black ledge and moves yet again.  It plunges into a chaos of tan paper and eternal plastic.  My emotions fly high. I clutch hold of it, I securely comfort it with two hands, I multiply it with numerous calculations, and, at last, I triumph!  And out the door I go after standing in line for twenty-five minutes at Wal-mart.

I wonder how much more exciting life would be if we could learn to replace the mundane moments with child-like enthusiasm?
