Exodus 35 & 36; Acts 10 ; Ps. 10

I pretty much can think I am bi-polar or at the very least hormonal and then I read this by a guy who is way smarter than me:

Let me go out on a limb I think most of walk the line between passion and peacefulness. We play it too safe because we fear failure and criticism. I think most of us wake up with the goal of not looking bad or bringing unwelcome attention to ourselves. But I'll make up a rule here that I think is true....If we're not offending someone or risking personal embarassment, with our life endeavors, we're probably making very little impact. That's how influence works it comes with the price of personal unrest.
In almost every endeavor I go after, there is a always a moment of tremendous regret. It's always that moment when I have gone too far to turn back, and there is absolutely no assurance of success. I start cursing my holy discontent, my entrepreneurial nature, and I kick myself for being naive calling it faith. And then, God goes and does something amazing and I go do it all over again. Ben Arment

My passion when it starts to rise gets me in trouble and I think that trouble is when He works. Pray to live RISKY and then ignoring relational risks is just dumb and stiff necked.....and really..
I don't want another 40 years of wandering around....
