Crazy Love

I mentioned a phrase in my last post "Crazy Love", I have to admit I got that from a new book I am about finished with. Crazy Love by Kenneth Chan has been an interesting read and I have enjoyed his thoughts on being overwhelmed by a relentless God. Even more interesting was going to his website and watching some of his videos.

He has videos that correspond with every chapter, plus he has some "big picture" types of videos. Kenneth Chan is a surfer which, for me, made it all the better. Not real deep stuff, but enjoying to watch and read.

I like the phrase "Crazy Love". If you think about what ALL God has done for us it is amazing and crazy. He deserves a crazy love in return. The symbol on the cover is one arrow pointing up and one arrow pointing down. Reciprocal love. Not because we loved Him, but because He loved us first.

Looking froward to a nice vacation, so I will write again when I return.

what happened??

Wow!

I looked at the last date that I wrote something here and I was amazed at how long it has been. I think I fell asleep by a tree and woke up with a beard. It has been a challenging, exhausting, emotional, and somehow thrilling last few months. In one of my last blogs I wished for more time, oh how true that is!

Well after my long nap I feel rested, rejuvenated and restored.

I feel the passion again.

I feel the freedom.

I feel the crazy love, that is loving God.

There will still be obstacles to overcome, and pain to endure for the sake of the battle, but I am ready to fight, and ready to win.

I was listening to Peter Gabriel's song "Big Time" this week and some lyrics struck a chord with me (no pun intended).

"and I will pray to a big God
as I kneel in the big church
big time - I'm on my way-I'm making it
big time - I've got to make it show yeah
big time - so much larger than life
big time - I'm going to watch it growing"

It's time to go big, larger than life, making it show and then watch it grow!

I have to take a moment and say a special thanks to my wife for all of the wisdom, knowledge and love that she has shown to me. She is the one who taught me about going on a journey with God to see who he really is. It was all of the books that she gave me, the long talks at night, and the times where she would tell me that what I really needed was God, not her. She has given herself up for me and for my children and for that I am eternally grateful! Thanks Mo!

Hopefully I will eek out a little time during the week to keep writing.
