Preposterousness

Our LifeGroupOnline is studying Brennan Manning's The Raggamuffin Gospel.

You'd likely know that if you follow the blogs of most of the other members of the group, but this is the first time that I've blogged about it.

This paragraph hit me...

Each of us pays a heavy price for our fear of falling flat on our faces.

It assures the progressive narrowing of our personalities and prevents exploration and experimentation.

As we get older we do only the things we do well.  There is no growth in Christ Jesus without some difficulty and fumbling. If we are going to keep on growing, we must keep on risking failure throughout our lives.

I can definitely see the tendency to play it safe in me, despite what I may want to believe.  I need to be kept accountable in not playing life safely.

Do you allow yourself to risk failure?
