Responsibilities

During a friend’s birthday, something he said struck a chord in me. He said something about the young emulating what we do.

I have known about this ever since a task over a group of young ones was given to me. I wonder though how many amongst us really know how careful we must be in everything we do.

For eyes see what we do. Ears hear what we say. Minds process the actions we make. Hearts learn from the experiences they get.

They are watching. Even if we do not notice. They are there. An audience to our lives.

We must be careful. Impressionable souls may soar and fail because of our examples.

not to forget those who profess to know Christ are in trouble of being watched, sometimes, too closely

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.

Chase the lion.
