I would rather stumble a thousand times

Attempting to reach a goal,

Than to sit in a crowd

In my weather-proof shroud,

A shriveled and self-satisfied soul

I would rather be doing and daring

All of my error-filled days,

Than watching and waiting, and dying

Smug in my perfect ways.

I would rather wonder and blunder,

Stumbling blindly ahead,

Than for safety's sake

Lest I make a mistake

Be sure, be safe, be dead.

I Want To Die Trying.

Life is suppose to be an adventure. We weren't created by God to just to survive. God created us to live. God put a spirit of adventure in us. He wants us to enjoy life. We need to grab a hold of life and ride it like a wild horse. We may be thrown once in a while but we get back on and we ride with the wind in our face.. waiting to see were it is taking us next. God wants our lives to count. We may not accomplish all we try but we will try and because we try.. we will do more than most.

Do you want your life to count? Do you want to make a difference. It isn't just thrills and chills. It is going through life and touching other's lives. It is leaving behind a trail of people who were glad they came in contact with you. It is lives touched by our love, our desire to make the world a better place, our willingness to take a chance and reach out to others. When we get to Heaven.. I want them to say.. "Here is one of those who tried to make a difference."

We can do it.. as Christ the Lord works through us!
