Show Me Something Glorious!

GLORY. It's what men fight for, do astounding things to obtain and live their lives for. Just read the Illiad  or the Aeneid, it's what drives those men to embrace battle and fight to the death; They have a deep - seeded, undeniable desire for honor and glory. Men want something more than the boring old, humdrum daily life; they want to stand out from the ordinary. We know we were meant for more. We were created for eternal glory!
Today, I stayed home sick from school and spent most of the day sleeping, working on my thesis and browsing my usual websites. *yawn*. I went outside and sat in the sun to pray my rosary and saw that today I was to pray the Glorious Mysteries. It just sort of jarred me. My Lord is the Lord of Glory. He is seated above in His throne of brilliant gold, ruling over heaven and earth. That is my Lord. When I speak to Him, I am able to get a glimpse of that Glory, get just the slightest taste. That glory is what I will ever yearn for and chase after until I shall behold it for eternity; not only behold but share in His glory!
I also stumbled upon this song today:

"Show me something glorious, show me something beautiful..." That's what we crave. We crave beauty and glory because we were created by He who is source of these things and also we are for them.
