The High Dive

Have you ever gone off of the high dive? It is a long ways up and it feels further than it is. I remember the scared butterflies that seem to suddenly inhabit my innards when I put my hand on the rail and began to climb up. I remember that my brain was screaming at me about how stupid this was. But once you started up there was no real turning back. There was usually a line, going backwards was just not an option. When you got to the top and it was your turn, that was the moment when it all came to a head…..would you jump?
 

There are any number of moments in your life that come down to a moment of decision but the greatest of them are the ones you make regarding your spiritual life. The decision to follow Jesus and be baptized was a moment like that, but it certainly wasn’t the only one. Some might be a commitment to serve or lead. Others may involve a decision to give. What do you do when you approach such moments?

We as a church are coming up on such a moment. Will we be able to step up and go forward? Will we jump and experience the thrill that only comes when we trust and spring forward? Will we stand there on the edge of the diving board, looking around?   Are you ready to fly?
 

See you at church.
