A Bomb is Going Off
Dear Blog Readers,
I had a dream last night. It was wasn't light hearted. It was intense and had a profound impact on how I looked at life today.
The dream started at a start line for a triatholon. The gun went off and we all started to swim in the ocean. Waves were coming at us and I knew just how to swim to get beyond the surf. The majority of the pack were thrown down by the waves and all of a sudden I was up with the leader. Then I began to pass the leader and was leading the pack. My adrenilan was pumping as I was excited, but yet fearful that the people behind me were going to pass me up. I then transitioned to the run leg (which was odd considering the bike leg comes after the swim) and as I began to run the field caught up and I was in third or forth place. We then ran into this school and they opened this door in the hall way. Following the leaders I went into the room and I could not find out where they went. But I found myself in a room with two boys putting together a bomb to blow up the school. I said, "where did they go". They had no idea of what I was talking about. I asked, "what are you doing" and they said, "we are making a bomb". All I could think about was how I needed to find out where they went so that I could catch up and win this race. I ran outside the door that I came in and saw someone go into another door. I walked through the door and went down a concrete slide and asked where the racers went. We were stucked with these students and and one student came up to me and she said, "the cops aren't coming". I then had a choice, do I find a way out so that I could win this race or do I help a crisis situation.
It is amazingly similar to current real life analogies. I feel like I am running a race and all I care about is reaching the goal. Winning the race! Competiting and finishing! Yet maybe I need to realize that although I have my goals, I cannot forget about the people around me and the people who need me.
I was reading the a verse in the Bible and it said, "A noble man, has noble plans, and noble deeds he stands".
