I’m really grateful for this RICH’S RIDE thing I get to do.
Frankly, sometimes I can’t imagine where I’d be without it.
Since I wrote last week about Driving Without Hitting Stuff I’ve been thinking about how I don’t think Jesus cares much about darkness. I mean, He does in the sense that He doesn’t want us to live there. I just don’t believe He wants us to worry about it or fear it.
Yet when I listen to what’s happening around me, it seems so many folks who follow Jesus–politicians, pastors, business leaders–focus on fear and anger. And as a guy who struggles with depression, I can easily get sucked into that dark place.
I’m so grateful to work on a project with a team that’s solely dedicated to sharing hope and shining light.
The depression often prevents me from feeling hopeful or joyful or grateful. But I’ve learned that I don’t have to react to my feelings.
I can choose to write these sentences and remind myself of the gifts with which God’s surrounded me. I can look forward with excitement as we plan this summer’s FRONT RANGE FREEDOM TOUR. I can know we’re going to make a difference in the lives of some kids.
I can choose to add my bit of light. Hope you’ll join me.
