I was roaming through the bookstore some time ago. I was looking for a devotional book for men. Stumbled onto DREAM by Kenny Luck. I had never heard of Pastor Luck nor his book which is surprising since he is the men’s pastor at Saddleback Church.

This book is really challenging me on many levels. Luck writes about how to make God’s dream a reality in your life.

Here is just one “If critics accused Jesus of consorting with sinners, they’ll just as offended by us.” Maybe, but probably not. They should, but most of us are pretty guarded when it comes to hanging around with people that do not look like us, think like us, or act like us.

How comfortable are you in a bar? Worried about who may see you? What will other pastors think? How about hanging around the camp fire with some hunters from North GA. spittin’ and chewin’ and throwing back a cold one? Does the conversation bother you (probably should bother you but not embarras you)? When was the last time an unbelieving family was in your home? Confession: it’s been a long time for me.

I’m open for ideas on meeting people not like me. I hope its not to late for me to relate.
