Safety First?

If you are the kind of person who loves a good bungee jump or enjoys doing insane activities like jumping out of airplanes, then I commend you. Those are two things I would rather not ever attempt to do in my lifetime. The mere thought of it makes me wanna crawl under my blanket and cling tightly to my pillow. I have been thinking about the normalcy of my life lately and have been struck with a realization that I do not love so much. I live a plain Jane always the same life. Yes, I love my life and my friends and all that jazz but a girl has got to get some adventure up in her life ya know!?
So, does this mean I also play it safe when it comes to loving Jesus? In Crazy Love, Francis Chan says, "Christians today like to play it safe. We want to put ourselves in a situation where we are safe, 'even if there is no God.'" Which is totally true for me. I like to know that I am in the clear if there is a God, but don't miss out on life, just in case this whole Jesus thing turns out to be a hoax. I wish someone would have hit me in the head with this a while ago because HELLO! This is no way to live! With Jesus, you're either in or your out, there is no meet me in the middle in this situation. "Something is wrong when our lives make sense to unbelievers." In order to really surrender our whole hearts to Christ we must do things on this Earth that seem pretty crazy, but when we reach eternity it will be so well worth the risk! To be a Christian it is necassary to take risks and do things that are scary. We need to jump out of the plane! Maybe I just need to go sky diving. . .who wants to join???

Is adventure the secret to life?

This is my friend Christie sky diving. . . doesn't look so bad!!!
