The edge is scary. It is lonely. It is a place that causes you to really think! Yea, its a place that is away from the middle ground. That place that if you fall down you just hit the ground. On the edge, if you fall you are not gonna hit the ground for a while!
I love coming from the edge of thought and inviting someone to come with me. To that shift in culture. That thing that makes you really challenge your self, question things and cause you to really pray. Yes, I am wired differently, but - like Mark Batterson from NCC Church in DC says, "Chase the Lion".
Try this, go to a tall building and go to the roof of that tall building and set on the edge of the roof of that tall building. Your heart will jump, you will respect the edge and you will see a new perspective than you can from the ground.
From the edge you can dream, target and see what it is from a panoramic view what God wants you to conquer next.
Come on, come with me to the edge and hang on tight and see what else there is to do in this thing called life.
Next? I wanna skydive off the edge! Wanna come? Just a Thought.....

Faith
Substance. Things hoped For. Risk. Blind. These are all words that describe faith. In all of life we are required to live by faith. To not know what tomorrow holds. We learn it through process, through life, mistakes, and or success. Understanding faith is impossible , yet operating in it is not. Moving mountains, praying for that unreachable thing. I am beginning to find in my own walk that faith is not what we see on the local Christian TV station. Where it can be seen is in that single parent that is raising a kid and holding 3 jobs. In the teacher who makes a small salary for an untold amount of dedication. The missionary in worlds not heard of. The kid who says no to peer pressure. The CEO who is ethical. Faith, I certainly do hope, risk and God knows I am blind at times. I just want to see what i am supposed too. Just a Thought.....
