C.S. Lewis suggests that most of us are like the child playing with mud pies in the ghetto. Somebody comes along and offers him a day at the beach, but he turns it down because he doesn't want to quit playing with the mud pies. The problem from God's perspective is not that we want too much out of life, but like that child, we're satisfied with far too little---we could have had a day at the beach! We settle for material success, ambition, power, success or alcohol, when God offers us something far deeper and more satisfying.
