So backwards.

I talked to a student today who said he wanted to come to church, but he had baseball tonight and every Wednesday. He said he had it on Sunday to, every Sunday. I asked him when it ends, he said November, I ask him when it started again, he said January. Man, when does God become worth sacrificing for?

This is the world in which we live. The Church should look different. After all, we're not supposed to conform to the pattern of this world. Sadly, kids growing up in the "church" are just as busy. Parents think its ok for their kids to be super busy with all kinds of extra-curricular activities. After all--that's one of the advantages of living in a place like America. So many options. A major problem, though, is that the majority of the things that people are filling their time with are temporary--meaning that they really don't have much eternal value. Conversations filled with faith, hope, and love---true believers who get outside of wherever their comfort zone may be and actually start doing life with others--even if it means getting dirty---these things we will carry with us into eternity. If our schedules keep us from doing these type of things, can we really call ourselves true Christ-Followers? I've been asking this of myself a lot lately?

Sorry Keith--this was a bit of a hijack. I do have my own blog!

Love you brother. You're amazing!
