I just mowed my yard today for the first time this year.  Check that, I mowed the weeds that had sprung up where my grass used to be.  I think I have about 1 million dandelions in my front yard.  Absolutely disgusting. The crazy thing is I don’t want to do much more than mow my yard since I am renting and don’t own our home.  My wife and I decided to wait a little bit until we get our own home.  Stuff like the fact that we are church planting and we don’t know enough about Nashville to really know where we want to live long term have weighed into our decision to wait.  

Anyway, I noticed how even though I am bugged about the weeds in my yard, I don’t have any motivation to spend any money on it.  I think that is because I am not really invested in living here long term.  Why spend all my time and money on fixing the yard if I wont be around to really enjoy it?

In my ramblings today, I was thinking about how we are only here temporarily on the earth, about 80 years is the top end of our time here.  I have no idea why I spend so much time investing in this world instead of my future home in heaven and the life to come.  Its like spending all my time fertilizing, seeding and watering the grass at my rental house.  Instead I should be investing my time and my energy on my future home, heaven.
