Promise of Adventure


Hmmmm....this year has been challenging. Thus, the reason for such a long lull in my postings. There are moments in life, it is best to just "Put a sock in it!" and this has been one of those seasons. The ying and the yang of my Christianity has caused me just a little bit of seasickness. Even though it is not contagious, it just seemed appropriate to ponder the moment and let it ride for awhile. Rocking back and forth on the fierce waves of change has caused me to speculate, is there truly a "Land Ahoy!"

Being that I love a good pirates tale, this passing has not been without expectation. There are new ports to consider and treasures to seek. God is without question, an adventurous God. He never allows us to settle into a harbor, if we are sailors at heart. There is always the lure of the ocean and the next conquest that keep us engaged in the eternal dialogue.

For those of you who love the tradewinds, let your heart and sails be full. The eternal adventure has just begun. Christ in His sacrifice opened a gateway to eternity and new life in Him. Accept this challenge and sail into His wind of mercy and grace.
Never be a landlover, it is the horizon-line that beckons us all. Everyday is a new day, new adventure in Him.

May your 2010 be the greatest adventure of your life in Jesus. He has already discovered and conquered your new land. Sail towards the new horizon. You will meet Him there.
