Stop and Think

Have you ever considered the craziness of the planet we live on. We live on a big rock that is spinnning at 1,000 mph while also circle a huge ball of flaming gas at about 67,000 mph. Seriously stop for a moment and think about how crazy that is. Have you ever stopped long enough to think about it? I know I never really have. I would encourage you to do so today. Before you do though take a few minutes and check out this video from Francis Chan.

How easily we forget....

It saddens me when I realize how easily I forget what I know about God. My recent struggles have really brought this to the forefront of ny mind. I was remind about as I was reading in John 1 and the calking of the disples. Jesus is immediately recognized as the Son of God by these men yet over the next 3 years this men will struggle with who Jesus is. I see myself in these men. I remember a time when really relying on God was 2nd nature and yet now I struggle with this. I remember a time when I saw the world around me with spiritual eyes and now I struggle to see my world as more than things and stuff. I long to be back to those earlier places. I long to take my family to those same places. I know that with God this is possible, may my heart catch up with my mind soon on this one.
