"Shouldn't Christians be known by the fire in their souls, the wild-eyed gratitude in their faces, the twinkle in their eyes, and a holy mischief in their demeanor?... Shouldn't those who call themselves Christians be filled with awe, astonishment, and amazement?
"Let's find the world of dangerous wonder. It's a real place, you know. It is the place where both children and grownups can find God, located just beyond where the sidewalk ends."
-- Michael Yaconelli, from the book Dangerous Wonder

I'm revisiting an old favorite with the book Dangerous Wonder. It invites you to recapture the joy of being a child and apply it to your relationship with God. I think sometimes we get caught up in our faith lives - and they become a serious struggle... This book reminds you of the joy and freedom and adventure that comes with the journey! (Ha ha ha - it's Sunday... I got God on my mind! Worship this morning was a little more "serious" than usual... But I got to end my morning with my confirmands - what a great job! I get to talk about the joy and freedom of God's grace with giggly, funny, smart, and curious 8th graders!)

Just a reminder - God is good! All the time!
