Numbers 7; Psalm 23; Acts 27

I may be crazy and IF I am then I want to stay here......this crazy is different than how I used to live....this crazy seems to be going somewhere, stagnation doesn't seem to be an option......life seems to be a little more filled with fear and yet the fear is no longer what drives me...I don't know much BUT what I do know says 'follow me' and I want to.......I'm watching/have watched people live in stagnation and I hurt for them......my hand is out....I am available....I am going to follow You......wherever that leads.

Acts 27: 21-22 With our appetite for both food and life long gone, Paul took his place in our midst and said, "Friends, you really should have listened to me back in Crete. We could have avoided all this trouble and trial. But there's no need to dwell on that now. From now on, things are looking up! I can assure you that there'll not be a single drowning among us, although I can't say as much for the ship—the ship itself is doomed.

I wonder if we as followers of Christ are not going to have these kinds of chances...in an economy tanking rapidly, marriages around us flailing..... if we're not going to have the chance to say.......to love them to a new way of living in a full blown love relationship with Christ.....w/this amazing God of the universe through Christ....i wonder.....

are you sure about that.... sometimes Christ leads to the heart of the matter and that my friend is a scary and life-altering venture.
