Ray: I don't have a vision for my life, I have no goals, there's nothing I want to accomplish...
Debra: Ray, you have a good job, you're a good writer, you have a good family, you have a home, a wife who loves you, and three great kids. Maybe the reason that you don't have a vision is because you have already accomplished it ... you are living your vision!
Ray: I have...? Alright! Then, this is all there is...? I'm dissapointed ...

Inside of all that are at least semi-emotionally healthy, there is a sense of purpose, a since of destiny, a sense that life is greater than just existing. As a body is greater than the sum of its parts, so living is greater than the length of its years. There's got to be more...
I don't want to leave disappointed.
Instead of waiting for a local church to get it together and then jump onboard, maybe we ought to go ahead and get ourselves together. It's not like each of us doesn't already know what is needed in order to become what we should already be and in reality already are.
If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.
James 4:17
"Lay down sanitized, mess free Christianity and embrace the kind of undomesticated, primitive faith that chooses sacrifice over compromise, peril over safety, and passion over comfort. That ancient, primal, dangerous faith of Jesus that won't ever choose safety over significance. The kind of faith that will forever ruin you for the ordinary.". Craig -Vineyard Missions Conference.
