Let's just pretend for a second that God really did create the whole world. And then let's pretend that He made you. And then let's pretend that He really does love you and wants what is best for you. Too much? Well, stay with me here.
That's actually the story that's in the Bible. Not everyone believes it, so it's ok if you don't, but just for a second, let's say you do. This same God said, "Ask and it will be given to you. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be open." Want to pretend for a second again? Pretend that the God who created the world, who knows how life works, who knows how you work, really does want to give you good things!
We do not have to do this life alone! We can ask for help. And, if this pretend world is actually true, that help is not coming from Bob next door or a student in my 5th grade class. It's coming from the One who really knows what we need.
Want a better life? Ask!

IT'S BACK! AND HERE'S THE REASON WHY.....
If you're a Christian and have gone to church for any amount of time, you've probably heard this question, "If you died today, do you know that you'd be in Heaven?" If you asked most people today, they'd either say they don't care, they don't know or See you in Hell. But, that's the wrong question anyway!
The better question, and the question I think almost everyone is asking, is, "How can my life be better.....right now?" That's the question I want to answer with this blog. It's been a while since I've written anything, but I've started to realize (again) that Jesus was pretty smart. One time He said, "I have come that they might have life, and have it to the full." (Get it, the name of the blog is Life to the Full?) And anytime I've done His stuff, things have gone pretty well for me - not like won a million dollars well, or human success well, but my life is just better. That's the part I think a lot of people are missing with this Jesus stuff - it really does work!
So, I'm going to write this with the hope that something goes from the keyboard to my heart, that maybe a few other's lives will be better, and that this world might just become a little bit better because of it. And, even if it doesn't do any of these things, at least I'll have something to do with all my free time!
