from words to deeds
Reading thru Jesus' parables, I'm amazed by how his words can stir my heart in such a powerful manner, compelling me to act accordingly. And what's more interesting, it stops right there, giving you complete freedom, and full responsibility, to decide how you react to them.
It is that very transition, from words to deeds, that many men falter. It's easy to feel enlightened and moved, but it takes courage and convictions to venture a decisive act, using Kierkegaard's (o-so-poetic) phrase. God/Christ/the Holy Spirit can go far to stir our hearts, but in the end, each individual has to will himself to the ultimate expression of his faith - in his actions.

: marked by excessive enthusiasm and often intense uncritical devotion.
I'm very cautious as to what exactly in my life I would label myself a "fanatic" over.
Then...it happened...
I was forced to do so.
If you know me and have spent more than 20 seconds with me, you will know one thing as truth.
I AM A BASEBALL FANATIC!
(and proud of it)

FAVORITE PLAYER T-SHIRT: check
FENWAY PARK: check
Obsessive
Main Entry: ob·ses·sive
Pronunciation: \äb-ˈse-siv, əb-\
Function: adjective

1 a: tending to cause obsession b: excessive often to an unreasonable degree
Pretty sure that I can be considered obsessive at times.
My friend Chris did travel with me to Boston last fall JUST to see my favorite player play at Fenway (and no...he's not a Red Sock. :) )
Chris likes to call me delusional.
BASEBALL 2008 GOAL:
-I am attempting to see at least one game every week the entire season!
Yes I have tickets to see Joe ALL THREE games in May...yes I have already flown to KCMO to see Joe play last weekend...AND YES I'll be making a pilgrimage back to Minneapolis to see him in August!
It's going to be a great season! :)
