Recently Bill and I listened to Francis Chan's book- Crazy Love. Life came to a screeching halt when listening. Have you ever had one of those experiences? You're speeding thru life- days turn into months- months into years then something happens (at least temporarily) to give you pause? This is one of those books that wonderfully begs us to 'wake up'.

"Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts- it's falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same. Because when you're wildly in love with someone, it changes everything."

May the Lord awaken us to all He has for us in this life- amen?
