LIVING FROM THE GREATEST EXTREME

Life is a massive works of successes and failures, activities and rests, dreams and nightmares.  Maneuverability is a daily requirement.  Challenges faced are sobering if not often insurmountable.  We are sorely tempted to give up on people, on plans, and even on God.  Yet, we must continue pursuit of the life God intentionally unfolds before us.  We must not be talked out of imagining what can be.

In order to effectively reside in forward progress, we must determine to live from the greatest extreme.  We must actually absorb as fact that there is life after death.  Jesus makes this promise a reality.  It is totally up to our belief-system as to whether we accept or deny such.  Therefore, we decide regarding the greatest extreme.

When we know via faith that Jesus broke the bonds of death, an entirely new world explodes upon our scene.  We are free to be heartbroken over loss, injury, and even death.  Yet, we are not distracted from praising God while we offer consistent words of hope to all neighbors. 

If you are going to practice any sort of faith, I encourage you to place it in the one who walked our trails, died our deaths, and arose to shout from the mountaintops that we are free to like right now and every right now that follows...including the reality of breaking lose from the cemetery.

That's...called living from the greatest extreme.  And...we do!
