I love when you said, "I am doing it as an act of identification and prophetic imagination. As I beat against the violence of these waves, I am beating against the violence that rips apart Congo. As I set my gaze against the wind, I am staring down the forces of evil and destruction. It is paddling as solidarity." What can one do against the forces of evil? Imagine and believe that with God, love, and hard work it can be different.

You keep my eyes on the world picture when it is so easy to get focused on what's in front of me. <br /><br />Best quote from this blog: "Though I couldn’t see the rogue waves coming, I could see the lighthouse in the distance and that seemed to be enough."<br /><br />Isn't that how it is as Christ followers?
