| Introduction | We want to be 'recklessly abandoned' to Jesus. Tim Keller says, "The joyful effects of the gospel in our own lives must give us an enormous energy for witness. How can we keep quiet about such a great wonder? If that energy is not there, we must repent and seek God until it flows." By relying on Jesus for our very hope in this life, glorifying God by loving others sacrificially and committing ourselves to throw aside the ways of this world that hold us back from being fully committed to Him and to His will, we can -- by His grace -- be recklessly abandoned to the Savior. Though we fall short of this every day, our prayer is that God will, by His grace, glorify Himself through our lives. We long to be totally and recklessly abandoned to Him and to His Gospel! |

You moved the pot before the coffee stopped brewing. Do you smell the mountains or the burro?
We smell the mountains! There is nothing better than a cup of coffee especially in the morning. And we move the pot every morning cuz we can't wait! We always say coffee is not just a beverage, it's a Christian "fellowship" experience. Good thing too because we're heading for the land of lattes and cappuccinos!
