The Other Side of Fine Explained

Mark and I are tired. Most of us are. Yes, we are tired from our busy days, managing our jobs, our family, our committments. But that's not what I mean. What that is--is life. What we are tired from is living in a world where being "fine" has become the norm. We live in a place that has become too "fine." So much so, we are desensitized to the fact that seldom does "fine" describe our current state. But we say so anyway.

I'm conviced that we have hidden, most of our lives, behind the comforts of "fine." It's a place where the reality of who we are or what we feel safely nestles into the shadowed corners of a stale subsitite.

This is both a challenge to us and to you alike. Life cannot be lived in the confines of "fine". True and pure relationships can never develop if we can't share our deepest fears or greatest joys with those we are around. God never intended for us to experience a "fine" life. His Spirit enables us the deepest kind of every emotion. It's good for us to share each other in this way. It's necessary. It's the way He made us.

So, we are stepping out of that shadowed corner. We are attempting to let our thoughts and feeling define us. We are rejecting the notion that "fine" is an okay thing to be. We are wanting to live on "the other side of fine."
