I imagine in all of us there is an innate desire to conquer some hill. In this we fight with a contradiction within ourselves; we want to scratch, claw and fight for every inch of the hill. On the flip side we want it to be easy, simple and stress free. It's as if there is a war between hard earned self-respect and laziness. Unfortunately, most lives illustrate that the ease-lazy road is the road often taken.
Jesus spoke in Luke of counting the cost. I wonder if the real issue isn't 'laziness vs. effort' but rather we just can't find anything we consider worth paying the cost? Are we a generation that has lost it's ability to recognize value and worth? Are we becoming the 'oh, well...' generation?
