Our eyes quickly shut, resuming an imagined reality. Life goes on, wasting away until the next abrupt awakening, when we will again glimpse the gospel.

My eyes raised back to the net. "Father. If you really love me. If you have forgiven me, show me one more sign. Make my next ten shots in a row."

But if our life is solely defined by spiritual isolation with Him, we will quickly find ourselves not walking with Christ at all.
