What Moves You?

What makes your heart race? What drives you? What makes your blood pump? What makes you feel alive?
For every person there is something that makes you feel alive more than anything else. For most everyone, that something that moves you, is different. For some it is a hobby, for others it is a person, it can be a place, or an event. For me, there is a moment when I am walking onto the platform, Bible in hand, my mind and heart racing at what will be coming out of my mouth for the next half hour.
As many of you know, I am a preacher, not as a profession but because of something ingrained in my DNA. At that very moment when I stand to walk on the platform, I realize that I have been entrusted with the greatest message ever given, the message of Hope and Love. At that moment, as I begin to share my life with the crowd in front of me, my blood is flowing and I am never more alive. I have kayaked class V rapids, dove with enormous stingrays at night, hooked 100lb fish on fly rods, and snowboarded some of the greatest mountains in North America and nothing holds a candle to the feeling I get when I stand to preach the Word of God. I am the luckiest man in the world.
What makes you feel alive? Share your thoughts with me…
