The story...
The movie Top Gun asked the lead character "Maverick" to engage in life for the benefit of himself; his team; the Navy; and for his country too. The circumstances of life were changing as he lost his best co-pilot friend who trusted him. He even rejected the woman who risked loving him the best she could.
He says "Jesus Christ," albeit flippantly, in dismay as he faces the enemy, failures, and community rejection. He reengages, drops his stinking thinking, and defeats the enemy using his God-given talents. He becomes the man he could be - victory won.
There'll be many reasons to disengage from the imperfect only church in town. Stay engaged! Self can relentlessly hold you back from loving: you; other people; and the Lord your God with all your heart mind and soul. Engage in the good life God created you for. It is for freedom that Christ set you free.
Just for today...
"The invitation to live life fully is offered to me each day. I can accept the pace of change today, knowing it will bring both times of active involvement and periods of quiet waiting. I will let surprises of the day open up before me." Courage to Change (p. 281)
"Scratching itches; Festers wounds - Trusting God; Frees souls."
"The free love; Love heals - Men of God; Move mountains." Am I a Poet?
