for those who speak one language:

sorry for the spanish. i was feeling spanish-e. anyways i'm feeling really pumped about some of the stuff god is working out for me. my fine arts sermon is progressing steadily ( i like to think so) and it is about ... well the theme overall is "Extraordinary"

and so i got to thinkin' (sorry charity for thinkin', but i had to do it)

all the people god put in the bible were extraordinary right? granted some of them were extraordinarily bad, but most of the main characters in the bible were extraordinary. when i think about that, i also think

"would my life be worth putting in the bible?"
and if so, for an example of how to be or how not to be?

all of us are called to be these extraodinary people who move mountains and who God is so proud of that he would put us in a book for millions, sorry trillions to read. but so many times we fall short of this. a big issue with this is that we are scared of how great we are to be, so with fear comes low expectations, because at least with low expectations we can expect our low results, and for some reason our thought process legitimizes us doing poorly because we expected to. we are called to do greater things than our christ jesus did on earth. that is not something to be taken lightly. that is an incredible thought. and scary.

but what we need to get from this is work. a wise man once said, "the only way you get anywhere in life is work". I believe that to be partially true. now we could wallow in our ocean of self pity claiming we will never be good enough, smart enough, big enough to fill god's shoes; or we can put on some gloves and start the work before we complain about it's severity.
