Its a Conspiracy

I set out today to conquer the world (like pinky and brain 'we are going to take over the world') well at least I sat out to get my lazy rear out of bed and get some coffee down me stat before I find my body returning to REM. Made it to daycare and dropped off Zebbie, made it to work, sat at my desk poised for excellence... :) Sounds good doesn't it?
It is now well past 11:00 and I have yet to conquer the world or even do very little to influence or impact a life for the better. I wish this might be a rare occurrence in life but I am afraid it is more the norm.
So what is the conspiracy of my life? Great question... I am yet to fully unearth its essence but I do know part of it is the inherent demise of humans to gravitate toward the middle- to be neither hot not cold but well just OK. It's the apathy of mediocrity and it is poison. As constant as the gravity on earth my life is ever set to find the middle way. I think the world is happy with the majority living in the middle- after all it creates less work, demands less thought, requires less resources for economic retail. If the majority live in the apathy of mediocrity it means that the majority of our churches reside there as well. It is a conspiracy- like the interstate roadways who say come drive the interstate- it is better, faster, etc but don't you compromise a LOT of scenery, a lot of life, for some straight, bland road to a destination? It is a conspiracy- we are being fed lies upon lies and I am guilty as charged.
It is the spirit inside that wants to rebel, to stand up, to create more work, to shout out truth, to uncover the fraud, the lies and to walk the wrong way. I want to live in the discomfort of the truth. To live exposed to God's grace and infiltrated with God's agenda. I want to have the courage to expose the conspiracy with my living, to carve out a life that says different, that screams truth, that captivates others to do likewise. You see... it's a conspiracy and I will NOT be silent, I will NOT back down, I will NOT settle for less than those things God calls me to and no one will take it away from me. It's a conspiracy of mediocrity and the world better just shove off and leave this life alone. I will not go quietly. I will not be less. I will not be afraid.
I am a child of God. I am His and that is more than enough to take over the world. How about you?
