Overwhelmed

On Sunday morning we (Megan, Aubree, Dena, Greg and I) were sitting at a Christmas cantata at Redeemer, and one of the songs reminded me of the Lord of the Rings. Suddenly, for no explainable reason, I was so overwhelmed by the realization that we all know so much about so many different worlds. For instance, think of all the movies you've ever watched and all the books you've ever read. Somewhere tucked away in your brain, you have information about each world that those mediums opened up to you. You can be sitting in the real world (church) and be transported to another world (Lord of the Rings) and also be thinking about the worlds of your friends sitting beside you and your family 5 hours away (because you also have information tucked away about the worlds of each person you've ever gotten to know really well, and information keeps being added on as you get to know people better and better)...on top of all that, you're watching more movies and reading more books and getting to know more people, you're getting to know yourself better and better, and as Christians we're getting to know God better and better, so that not only are we seeing all these intertwined worlds through our immediate carnal perspective, but we're (sometimes automatically, sometimes through great effort) trying to see things from a Christ-like perspective, which can throw things completely around sometimes.
And then suddenly you can be hit by the realization of all this at a time when you're already really tired ...which leaves you sitting frozen in a pew with a strong desire to cry, even though you can't identify what emotions you're feeling.
And then you can be typing all this and realizing that you're an absolute retard for not going to bed hours ago.
