not here

“Heaven is not here, it’s there. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next.” – Elisabeth Elliot

it's so easy to get wrapped up in busyness, the details of the daily grind and just getting thru the day such that the big picture is forgotten. i don't wanna "settle"! i don't wanna get lost in the mechanics of living and forget what my real purpose is. That i'm looking forward to something greater than this world & this life & what i can see. and what's more, i can't afford to forget it! the consequences are far too great.

OK, while I don't disagree at all with your post or with your quote; can I just say, Elisabeth Elliot has some really messed up ideas too. Especially ones regarding gender and relationships and stuff. Not everybody was Jim and neither is everybody called to be.
