Dangerous

I'm sitting in my living room. I hear the babbling of the fish tank and the tick of the wall clock. That tick drives me nuts in the absence of other noise. I have no reason to fear. Having grown up in the Christian church, I'm fully aware of the spiritual battle raging all around but I'm too busy vacuuming and checking emails to notice. I continue on with the statue quo. Occasionally I'll get the guts to hand a stranger a tract and consider myself a true Warrior Chick for God's Kingdom. Then I read a book like "Dangerous" by Caleb Bislow. Then I realize how far from the front lines I live. This guy is the real deal and uses the book to both tell of the amazing things God has allowed him to do as well as encourage you, the reader, to follow suit. I was mesmerized. It's a great book and one everyone who says they "follow" Christ should read. At this point in my life I feel very in love with Jesus and very willing to go where He leads me. At the moment he has led me to a rather quiet life that consists of preaching at ladies' conferences, helping at Awana and teaching Sunday School. It doesn't sound nearly as impressive but I know that my God often works in quiet ways which is the case in my life at present. However, should the day arise when my Loving Father tell me to cross over to the other side of the tracks, I feel better equipped to do it after having read this book.
