Moved.

I read these the other day and was moved:

• Pray unceasingly
• Give sacrificially
• Dream unreasonably
• Serve wholeheartedly
• Love unashamedly
• Walk innocently
• Believe undoubtingly
• Live powerfully

These are all of the qualities of the Church (what she should be). She is called to be the most creative force on the face of the earth. Therefore, we must not allow ourselves to become known for our boxes–that is, famous for what we don't do because of all our righteous constrictions. Religion can conform the most righteous, reigning saints into mindless zombies, puppets repeating someone else's convictions they don't even understand themselves.

I'm writing these characteristics, these TRUTHS down so that I'll remember and challenge myself and others to walk in them daily.
