Compromise

I'll begin from last night. I was falling to sleep at about 1:30am when I heard out my window a car drive by blaring "Hotel California" by The Eagles...I'm in Chile huh?

Anyways, I got a board the other day, and went out in the water yesterday at a spot called ConCon (la boca). It was super fun to be in the water. Also, went to Sporting last night with Fransisco and we played some soccer. Sporting is a huge place they have horse races at, rugby, tenis courts/clubs, and about 10 smaller soccer fields, and one full-size.

To be honest, I started writing this post without any sort of direction (as if the others had any either, I know). I've had trains of thoughts moving through my head since I last wrote. What's most been on my mind is compromise. How often do you compromise? I don't mean think about when you really wanted the grilled chicken sandwich, but had to settle for the fried chicken sandwich, or when you were hoping to go to the movies with your friends, but instead went to the play...these are all fairly trivial things. Those are the things that all people must be faced with in a community of any kind: work, friend, teams, etc.

More recently I've been thinking spiritually, I believe in Jesus and the truth is that there is only one spirit, the Holy Spirit, I do not mean the earth and the winds...that is creation - it has a creator.

The Cross. Where have you denied the cross? Where do you compromise? That is the direction of the question. And, don't fool yourself for one second and think that becasue I am writing these words that my life is free from compromise. No my friend. In fact, these thoughts develop from reflection on my own life.

Really just a thought...please comment.
