I nearly mulched a young box turtle last Saturday as I cut the grass for the first time this spring. Fortunately for the Terrapene Carolina, I spotted her attempting to escape the approaching whirring blades of the lawn tractor and stopped. Now she resides in her new habitat in a ten-gallon aquarium managed by a curious, compassionate ten-year old.
You never know where you will find adventure. Will it be in a random conversation at the grocery store or a phone call from a long-time friend? Will it be in reading your daily portion of God's Word or in scanning someone's blog? Will it be while playing with a child or watching wildlife? For me, to live vibrantly means to be aware and present in the moment and seeing the opportunities in front of you--even if they are under the front tire of your lawn mower.
