Running on a Swinging Bridge...
So I just got back from running. What inspired my atrophetic legs to run? Who knows.
I decided that I would run to the swinging bridge. I didn't know where this bridge was but I knew that it would be amazing. Kind of like God... I have no Idea what lies in waiting for my life, but my destination is heaven. I am going.
I run, and run, and run, beauty all around me, majestic elms with their delicately crafted leaves, puddles the size of an elephant, Glorious ponds(or puddles of flood)... mmm..... A reason to be where I was. I came to crossroads. Just like my life here in college, I have decisions, what am I supposed to choose?? First I chose left.... mistake.... I read the sign, it was one exactly like the one on the way in.... awe man.... I defeatedly turn around, start walking..... back.....losing time, losing life, mistakes. Only to hear God say, "Hey, how about this way?" Well... Ok,(sighing) I start jogging again... Hey, this looks better....not what I saw or expected... Ok so God knows his way around this place. Then comes a big puddle...right in the middle of the path...Simply, God said to go around on the right... success... Onward... more crossroads???!!!??? I thought, How am I ever going to find this bridge??? again, God comes in..."look at the sign..."
Oh....
Swinging Bridge -->
Well, I am glad someone is watching my life... So happily I glide around the 30 foot long puddle,
Dodging trees and traps...(branches that tend to hook your legs)..
I finally find the bridge. At Last. VICTORY...

Greetings Chris!
Amazing ... that is how I feel inside as I read your blog, and sense the fire within your heart for God!
Curious ... about how God drew you to Himself over the years and how your passion for Him took root and grew!
Astounded ... that I have lived so close to a man whose heart loved God so much, yet never realized it until this past year!
Humbled ... that God allowed you to sleep on our couch many mornings, never realizing what He had intended for your life!
Available ... for being an encouragement for you as follow our Master! You and Patsy are welcome in our home any time ... to sit in front of the fire and talk, share, cry, pray and generally do the 'one another's' that God has told us about in the Bible.
Keep pressing on, my young brother!
