Skiboards?

You know, there are just some things in this world that make me WAY to excited...like the fact that I just bought new skiboards. For the past three seasons, I have owned some decent ones...you know, good all around intermediate boards. But these new ones...WOOT! They are 10 cm longer and 4 cm wider than my old ones which makes them perfectly set up for riding back country, powder, and spring conditions, which are my favorite things to do!

BUT, when it comes down to it, why in the world are these stupid little things making me so freakin' excited? You know, sometimes I wish I would get this excited about God. I mean, skiboards? No eternal significance whatsoever.

Don't get me wrong...it isn't wrong to get excited about new stuff. But how excited should we really get? I guess it comes down to what we truly worship...what we get our real pleasure from. Stuff or God?

"If we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far to easily pleased." ~ C.S. Lewis

Skiboards? Who needs them...give me Christ! Philippians 3:7-8
