Down to the Earth
Last Sunday, one of my friends got marry and i attended her wedding ceremony in a church. i was late and the church was filled with many people, many of them that i knew a long time ago. Many of them had been the committee members of the Catholic Society (so called Katso) on 1987 during our Univerity life.
Within one minute i found a seat, the chairman of the next committee (1988) arrived with his wife. Later on he told me that once he and his wife were Catholic, but do not go to church now.
After the ceremony and photo taking sessions, i joined my friends in a shopping mall and met the past chairman and spiritual vice chairman of my committee whom i haved talked to during the photo taking session We chatted together and the past spiritual vice chairman said that , "now i am down to the earth and so and so..." It conveys the meaning that because of living he does not care about God and church now but care about to earn a living. At that moment i didn't notice this but seems to get his meaning the day after.
In fact, God is more practical than we are, following Christ's foot steps will be more down to the earth than following our paces. Floating around the sea of falling world, we often get lost and don't really know ourselves. But putting our eyes on Christ opens our eyes and understand the meaning of living.
