Chris's Musings

It's always great to get a little perspective.   Especially when we (or I) get too focused, anxious, and permeated in something small... ...er than.... God.   Today was one of those days for me.  When your perspective is on the here and now in your life's circumstances, and you try to control "it" but you feel like "it" is controlling you, it's a little easy to get discouraged, cynical, down... just plain ugh!   Thankfully, God got me out of me.  He nudged me to go to this Bible Study tonight with some life giving friends, and in that little gathering, singing "All to us," God turned my head around to this theme that He's been weaving in my life since Passion 2010.   It is not crazy to trade something small, in exchange for something HUGE.   And in that moment, that perspective became once again clear.  What I was so fixated on, what was draining my mental energy is... in light of eternity... worth....  Nothing.

And then somehow I thought:  What would be the best one?  What is the best one?  I'm not a "pickup line" kind of guy, but if I had to use one what would I use? And this hit me.  This was the best one.  It was actual...

I have a lot of fun serving in my church (as you can tell) :). We like to make it fun for the kids that are coming so that they can catch the gospel that we are teaching and showing with our lives. Here's a little taste of our wackiness. Enjoy.
