Light The Fire Again

Len Hjalmarsson has some great insights into what God is teaching him through living in the midst of the current fires that are wreaking havoc on Kelowna BC. There are times where God really challenges us re: where our security and confidence is based.

Recently, I've been reading a lot of blogging friends, and having "analog" conversations (going out for coffee) with others, and there is a common theme showing up: a lot of dreamers have had the dreams kicked out of them, and many are too tired or beaten up or whatever to even dare to dream again -- or even want to dream again.

I was talking to the pastor at the church I attend on Sunday, and he asked at one point "do you have a vision for Winnipeg?". I honestly had to say to him "Let me get back to you on that." I hadn't thought of it in those terms for a long time. How many of my dreams -- for ministry, for the Kingdom, for the church, etc. -- have died along the way?

So let's put the "Comments" section of this entry to good use. What dreams have died for you? Do you have new dreams? Do you even want to dare to dream anymore? Or are dreams passe?

To quote a song lyric from a friend of mine, "There must be more!"
