Ready To Write…GOT YOUR BACK
I can now see why people go to Alaska, and why so many never come back. It is a stark and beautiful place. No surprise there. But I believe it is that sheer ruggedness that draws people like the Death Star’s tractor beam into the cold wilderness. Some people go for a few days, like us. Some go and stay for ever, and others never come back because that place takes the life. After reading “Into The Wild” by Jon Krakauer, it is no wonder that Chris McCanless never made it back to him family in Georgia. Alaska is cold, brutal, unforgiving, and awe inspiring. Enough about that. Tomorrow I will begin my new series called GOT YOUR BACK. I will telling some stories and making some important points on how important it is for brothers (and sisters) to love their friends in deeds and not just words. Recently, it seems the most popular thing to do in the new church age is to find a preacher you disagree with and start a hate club. I hope to show that this is counter-productive to the gospel, hurtful to the kingdom, and sinful. I also pray that the entries inspire you to look for ways to “get somebody’s back” when they are attacked, when they are the recipient of gossip, the topic of a hurtful rumor, or the just getting kicked around for no reason. If you have ever had someone get your back when you needed it, you know how great it is. If you have ever had someone abandon you when you needed them to get your back, and you were all aloe with no ground support, then you know the sick feeling of being exposed and defenseless. Stay tuned, the first post will be ready on Saturday.
