just read: love does

One of my book clubs recently completed the book Love Does by Bob Goff. The book is a series of stories - some funny, some heartbreaking, all with the intention of moving us to action.

Bob has done some interesting things. In my book club, each meeting, there was a discussion about his adventures - most found them amazing. While they are out of the ordinary and some stories are pretty grand, I was thinking about all of the people I met along the journey of life who could share similar stories - rescuing slaves, helping those in extreme poverty, going to the far reaches of the world for that one lost sheep, surviving harrowing circumstances..

I believe it is possible for EVERY human being to live a life and write a book like Bob's, but most of us don't. Why? Oh, the reasons excuses are many: I am too busy. I am not qualified. I am not ready. I will later.              (fill in the blank)

God is calling each of us on the great adventure. Ours won't look just like Bob's because we are each uniquely gifted. But, our adventure could still be pretty amazing.

What is holding you back from living a great adventure?
