Revival in Dallas

There is currently a 40 day tent revival occuring in the heart of downtown Dallas. It happens to be right smack in the middle of the theological heart (ie it's between Dallas Theological Seminary and The Criswell College, my alma mater).

It's heart rendering. They're calling for lives 100% surrendered to the will of God. Everytime I go I'm rejuvenated and revived.

Then I go home and I attempt to keep that same enthusiasm in all aspects of my day. Some days (like today) I end up staying in my pjs all day and alternating between going back to bed and watching reruns of Cosby and It's a Different World (that happens to be the pick of choice for today). Other days, I sense God's presence in all aspects of my day. I pray nearly without ceasing. I do not question what my next thought, word, deed should be - I just dance from place to place enjoying the thoughts of my precious savior.

Nevertheless, God is no less part of my day today as He is other days. He still remains Sovereign and Supreme and in control.

I think frivolity and rest are vital to being a sane person. We can take ourselves too seriously. Yet, where is the balance? Is there too much fun? I desire for even my fun and frivolity to be centered around the Lord.
