BRAVE

I saw this video last night and it inspired me.  Tommy inspired me.  Take a look.


BRAVE from EyEFORcE on Vimeo.

It's hard to put down what I think about this.  I have a lot of scattered thoughts that sometimes (but not always guaranteed to) come together...

As the title of the video states.  He is "BRAVE".  But where does that come from?  Is it because he is blind?  Or does the fact that he is blind just amplify that characteristic? 

This kid rides skateboard AND HE IS BLIND!  That is awesome.  I think it is amazing that he uses his hearing to "see" what's coming up...and when the skate park goes dark (towards the end of the video), it doesn't even phase him.  He just keeps going.

He rides because it's fun to him.  He gets a rush when he does a trick that he's been trying to to after falling and falling and falling. 

He inspires me...and challenges me.

I want to be like Tommy...brave and unafraid to fall (...unafraid to fail).

Dear christian, don't watch this if you don't want to be convicted...




Whether you loved this or hated this, I think the greater point is let's test everything against the standards that God sets in His word.

To God be the glory. Amen.

New Year Resolution

I've been finding myself complaining a lot about stuff lately.

But what good really does that do?  I just vent frustrations and nothing changes.  Namely my level of frustration.

So I think my New Year Resolution will be:

As much as I complain about stuff 
is the amount I need to pray about stuff.

Philippians 4:5-7 NIV
Let your gentleness be evident to all.  The Lord is near.  Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
