My friends are crazy...
...and I love it!
Ted's living and working amidst a variety of hurting and lost people in Chicago.
Emily is currently in Nepal working with and for victims of sex traffiking.
Ging is in the Dominican Republic with Score International.
Chacko is leaving for South Korea in 2 days.
David Nay is heading to England with Operation Mobilization.
David Ridenour will soon be on his way to China for a year.
David "Frenchy" Mercier will be moving to Russia for 9 months.
Andrew's going to Nepal in the Fall.
Kory's going to Ecuador in 2 weeks.
Others are going elsewhere.
Others are staying.
I'm going to Upland (crazy, I know!)
I say none of this to mean that you have to go overseas to be crazy. In fact, sometimes it's hardest to be "crazy" right where you are most comfortable. And maybe sometimes that's where this craziness is most needed. I'm reminded once again, and I feel strongly about this, that I must LIVE the Barbarian Way (thanks go to Erwin McManus). This word "barbarian" may freak some out, but what I mean is that...
I must be different.
I must take risk.
I must love recklessly.
I must be bold.
I must be humble.
I must have hope.
If I say I'm with Jesus, I must be crazy about him and for him.
We must do this!
Some of my friends are trying to do this.
Am I trying to do this?
Are you trying to do this?
Right now. Right where you are.
Do something crazy.
