Excitement
Energy
When you think of these words, events like rock concerts and football games come to mind. These are words for sports, for movies, for entertainment. But we don't often associate church or learning with these words. Why?
Whenever I get started on the intricacies of origins or the elegant complexity revealed in the DNA molecule, I get incredulous stares. People look at me as if I've grown a third head. And I've seen the same stare across enough topics to know that it is my energy, my excitement that motivates their stares. The depths and richness of the Bible, the complexity of DNA/RNA replication, the vastness and beauty of the cosmos elicit a level of awe and excitement for me reminiscent of people when they witnessed the "immaculate reception" or the Chicago Bulls NBA championship "Three-peat".
This is my passion, this is my calling. I cant' help but get excited! My hope is that a little of the wonder and awe I have found wears off on others. I hope others find the thing that they are passionate about and pursue it with all the energy and excitement (if not more) that is normally associated with a NFL team in pursuit of a "Perfect Season".
