  Had a long talk w/ my wife (Jen) last nite. Was trying to express my desire for passion, not only in my life but in the life of people around me.
I think I've decided that passion is more attractive than possibly even beliefs. I think this is probably why God says "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am going to vomit you out of My mouth.
" I think, like him, I am beginning to find the lack of passion not simply insipid but repulsive. At the same time, I want nothing more than the passion in me to spread to those around me. To see a similar fire burning in another only fuels my own. Fire's hunger is unique. As it is fed its hunger grows not diminishes. A vacuum's hunger as it is fed removes the vacuum and its hunger. But a fire as it is fed only increases and desires more. Someone (Nicky Gumbel) used the examples of coals from the fire.
As they are isolated one from another they become cold, but put them together and they only increase in heat and intensity. Sometimes I feel for my wife. She has to listen to so many of my unfinished/incomplete/partial/confusing thoughts. And then again, w/o her I just might explode! ;) d4l3 (dale)
