Gaming is another form of supernormal stimuli and can make me lose my taste for real things. But I’ve made a commitment to living a real life. This is part of my arrangement with God. He’s given me one life, and I’m going to be loyal to him. He wants me to be fully me and fully present. He put me here, and no one else has the exact same circumstances. No one else is around the exact same people. I have a role to play, and I need to show up for it. He’s given me a garden to keep, and I’m going to keep it.
