I just finished listening to the first two chapters of Crazy Love by Francis Chan while running on a treadmill. (Quick question: at what point does jogging become running? I think I’m still jogging, but running sounds a lot better.) But could you get any more fully alive! Heart pumping at 165 beats per minute with good thoughts about a great God being piped directly into your ears through your Blackberry? It doesn’t get any better than that! And, for the record, I don’t run (or jog) like the guy in the Snap Fitness video! The only thing that would complete this morning is lunch at McDonalds.
If you head over to the Crazy Love site, you’ll see the option of watching a couple of the chapter videos. Take the opportunity; they’re well worth the time. Two in particular stand out:
When you’re done with the videos, stop and think about this: what Francis Chan is describing in these videos is really what we’re trying to help the campers see at Bethel Art Camp this summer. The website is almost as complete as it’s going to get…for a while. Yep, that’s what I said. I know it’s about as non-committal a sentence as you could write, but that’s where it is…and that’s what you get from me after I go running/jogging.
By the way, here’s Francis on a Balance Beam. Talk about walking Through the Valley to Joy!
