Dangerous

So I don't really know what to write... I'm pretty bad at this updating thing. Sometimes I just prefer to live my life, and not tell people about it. Though I know I ought to. That, and I'm lazy sometimes. Maybe more of that. So what do you want to know about my life? Lately it's been eventful in small ways, such that they matter to me and probably not to you, the reader. What are some of these things? I like drinking London Fogs. I have become a follower of three different television shows via the internet this month. I am being challenged to live differently than the world. What will that look like? I have no idea. But I fully expect things to be different. Unexpected. Risky. Dangerous. If we call ourselves Christians, we ought to look different than the world. I'm starting to think that if we don't, we also don't have the right to call ourselves Christians. Because if you can't tell that someone is a Christian by the way they act, they're not doing a very good job of being Christ to the world. And this means that some things have to change in my life. I read a book. It changed my views on some stuff. It is called "Radical" by David Platt. And it made me think. And I think that some things are going to change. Because I want to be different. I want you to see Christ in me. And to live so that you want what I have. Because it is the one thing that is worth giving up everything else for. And it's not easy and it's not safe and it's scary. But it's worth it. If it doesn't change your life, it's not Christianity.


And on a different note, here we are at Teotihuacan:

Love this! I totally get the small things like London Fogs and tv shows. :) It's the little things from home that can bring the most excitement! Mine was a can of Dr. Pepper when I was in Ukraine. Bliss. :) And I love your thoughts about how our lives need to look different if we call ourselves Christians! Amen!
