Talking Less, Living More

It comes down to choices. Making a decision and living the decision.
Research, reflection, and discussion are valuable only insofar as they inform an eventual enacted choice.
Sometimes it seems that people are content to talk and think. It's all noise to me these days. In fact, I'd rather engage with a person who acted without thinking before anyone who thinks without acting.
I'm a recovering thinker myself. Scary the dimensions and depths into which my mind delightedly loiters. The question is whether or not all the processing is leading to richer, fuller, sounder, more loving living. At issue is not processing less, but choosing more.
Embracing change, experimenting with new behaviors, getting involved with others, giving form to faithfulness. Turning creeds into cups of cold water, turning dreams into plans of action, turning personal values into personal change, turning general expectations into specific requests. There's only one command. It involves making a decision to do something.
