Just musing...I don't want it to sound like a soap box or more of a deal than I mean it.
Terms: "real life" (rl) "real time" (rt)
What does "real" mean?
Well Webster...
1. of or relating to fixed, permanent, or immovable things
2. not artifical, fraudulent, illusory
occurring in fact
having objective independent existence
I use "offline". It defines my reality. I have an existence with my Master that is very much real. It is not artifical, fraudulent or illusory. It is occurring in fact. It is "real life" because He is very much a part of my life and my everyday thoughts and responsibilities. It is "real time" because as I speak with Him the clock moves forward. Time doesn't stand still for us. I have to stop our conversations to attend to other responsibilities. Not "real" responsibilities. Responsibilities in addition to what I need and desire to do with Him.
I wish I could touch Him. He is physically "real" to me, not a figment of my imagination. I have seen His picture, He has "real" skin and "real" eyes and He isn't less real because I haven't been there to look into His eyes yet or touch His skin.
It's such a small thing. It's the little things that make U/us work. That and big hearts.
