A quote to probe your thinking

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive." - Gil Bailie

John Eldridge shared this in "Wild at Heart" and I have no idea when/where Mr. Bailie, a catholic layman/author/lecturer, stated this, but I feel like it is fitting for the notion of championing each other on in our dreams and visions. I doubt that one's foremost dreams are full of dull and trite ambitions. As Christians, Christ should be the one that makes us come alive (does "Christ is life!!" echo with anyone?) and by way of our vibrant relationship with him can we understand what it is that empowers, energizes, and ultimately enables us to follow our dreams and visions.

Also, Eric and I shared an interest today in a pre-spring break get-together/dessert/prayer on Thursday Night 8:30ish ---- any takers?
