Off My Game

life, perspective, pets

Have you ever noticed how often life gets in the way of Life?

I think I need one of those Vision Board things.  But, you know, I’m always little skeptical about things like that.  First of all, really?  Cut pictures from magazines and your dreams come true?  Second, I don’t know, something about it rubs me the wrong way.  It just doesn’t seem right, somehow.
I know, right?  I have enough random guilt for all of us.  So you’re absolved.  Go get your posterboard and clip your pictures and make your dreams come true.  You’re welcome.
Also, on an unrelated note, my dog eats paper.  And flip flops.  Socks, too.  He deems teddy bears a tasty treat.  But look at him. Maybe I should just buy more paper.
And, finally, that money tree I planted in my back yard just WILL NOT grow.  What is going on around here?
I know, you’re still looking at my dog.  Cute pup, isn’t he?  We love our Finn!

Reckless Faith (Beth Guckenberg)

Reckless Faith – Beth Guckenberger – Joel’s Story

It’s more than worth the 8 minutes you’ll spend watching this–if you only have 5, still watch.  And if Beth catches your attention, you can read more stories like this in her book, Reckless Faith.

I read it about a month ago, and I’m still thinking about it.  I’m incredibly moved by the idea that Beth felt passionate about helping orphans and then did something tangible about it.  She didn’t just think about it (a fine thing to do), or write a check (even better) or volunteer a weekend (good, too).  Instead, she moved to Mexico and listened to what she felt called to do.

Could I do the same?  Am I listening when God whispers?

It’s a little book, with touching stories, but the challenge it presents isn’t little at all.  I definitely recommend it.
