Is this all a joke?
The rest of the world is on fire. Burning. PEOPLE ARE DYING! Bombs are dropping. AIDS is killing. Hunger is killing. We are sleeping. Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! I’m tired of the theological debates, the “conservative vs. liberal”, and the oil hungry fat cats. I’m tired and while a part of me wants to just sleep it all away, the other part of me knows that the world is burning. I can’t sleep a wink.
I have to remind myself, “Keep your eye on the prize, Sue. Keep your eye on the prize.” Don’t get tangled up in debates about gay marriage. Don’t politicize any part of Christ’s love. This world is not my home. I am a stranger, and before this boat sinks I must save as many as I can. I don’t care about couches. I don’t care about lawns. I don’t care about my purse. I try hard to be passionless, but I’m burning.

So what do you do with the burning Sue? I had such an urgency today to BE in the middle of what God is doing. An urgency to love people well and let them know that there is an alternative to a saviorless life. What to do though. Want to stand on the roof top with me? I’m tired of hiding under a bushel.
