If you've never had a God-sized dream that scared you half to death, then you haven't really come to life.

You'll never be a perfect parent, but you can be a praying parent.

Life a life of Spiritual Adventure. Much like a wild goose the Spirit of God cannot be tracked or tamed. An element of danger, an air of unpredictability surround Him. And while the name may sound a little sacrilegious, I cannot think of a better description of what it's like to pursue the Spirit's leading through life.
