Life is too full of drama, isn’t it?

For once, I’d like to say with confidence that life has been pretty uneventful, maybe a bit boring.

And I live in Central Florida, United States of America. I can only imagine how much more drama there is in the lives of the rest of the world. Forget car accidents, break ins, or a relatives sudden death. Try bombs going off when you walk into the bank or when you take the subway to work. Try the flipside of the eventful coin; reaching the top of Mt. Everest, standing on top of the Eiffel Tower, seeing old cathedrals, or even older ruins like Macchu Pichu. There are people at this moment giving birth, or losing a child. There are people on church altars that might possibly be meeting their Savior for the first time. Monks having a transcendental or existential experience while in deep prayer in the monastary. I am simply on my laptop listening to smooth jazz while my baby sleeps in the other room and my husband plays Sims on the cell phone.

So do you welcome drama? Can you pick which events are considered a blessing and which are tragedy? Do you lock up in your house, do your chores and make your dinner and hope events don’t come knocking at your door -unless in the form of a carefully planned and structured vacation?

I have a sneaky feeling that living was meant to be eventful. I’m sure God considered it quite an event to create you and me.
