When the Grinch Is Right!

I've been home sick for the last week with that kind of cold where everyone in the office smiles grimly at you and suggests that you go home now and get some rest, and don't come back until you're safe. Not sure I'm safe yet, but on the bright side, I've been able to catch up with Oprah. Got a real hoot from Jim Carrey clowning around today. But he said something that amazed me. I don't remember what the question was, but he responded that he carries heaven inside him. That's where he goes to re-center his life when it gets hectic. I don't know if Jim Carrey is a Christian, I've never heard that about him, but I respect his spiritual sensitivity. He really nailed a truth that I love.

Jesus said to pray "on earth as it is in heaven." It's easy to be so familiar with that prayer that we forget what it really means. It means to carry heaven inside us. To hear the voice of God in everything that we do. To see the wonder and awesomeness of God in simple things and be open to finding the Easter eggs that He's hidden for us to discover. Heaven is inside me. I really love that. But it's weird to hear it from the Grinch!
