Lessons from a Golden Retriever

There are few things funnier than playing frisbee with my dog. He has yet to learn when to jump. He tries to jump too soon and has some pretty nasty spills. Even after the fall, he runs with all his energy and pounces on the frisbee. Then, it takes a small army to get it out of his mouth so we can do it all over again.
I wonder why it's been so long since I've approached anything with that kind of reckless abandon. I'm not talking about bungee jumping or skydiving. Nothing stupid. I'm talking about real things in life. When was the last time I loved my wife that way? When was the last time wrote her a letter or planned a Special date? When was the last time I worshipped with that passion? When did I last seek to serve God that way?
Just a thought.
