Love it… this is so true for so many of us in life. How much time do we waste just looking, plucking up the courage to jump! OR…. maybe that is all part of the process and what makes the success of the eventual jump so exhilarating.
Thanks for the way you paint pictures with words…. I really enjoy your blog.

Praying you are feeling better Billy!

This post has a lot in it and yet so simply illustrated – the power of fear will stop the mightiest of men from doing what God is calling them to do. Look past the darkness and see His brilliant light – walk by faith and not sight!

Blessings and wishing your family a wonderful Thanksgiving! We all have so much to be thankful for!

Now that’s my kind of kid.

Talk about your leap of faith.

Jumping is hard. I used to jump more often but now I see the scars and think twice. Some of them have been worth getting and I like to point them out and say, “This one came from…” and share the stories of how I got to be this way. Some of them, I tug my sleeve a bit lower and avoid the questions.
There are some places I’ll always jump for–some things that mean just that much. The difference is, I know the height and the danger–and take the risk anyway.

Another good post. What else can I say?

It made me wanna JUMP JUMP. (song reference)

That was a joke, but your inspiration is not.

Jump, huh? I’m not always so good at that. Isn’t life funny? I think God wants us to jump. He wants us to trust him and jump and take those risks. The funniest part is that I’m always glad I jumped once I have. Thanks for another great post, Billy. Have a great weekend!

Nicely said. I’m so not a jumper, either. I mean, when it comes to athletics, sure, I’ll pound out a 100-miler on the road bike, zoom down a hill clocking 39+ on the road bike, but with other things, yeah, not so much.

Well, unless God nudges me (Usually through one of my accountability partners/friends).

Great post, today, Billy. Have a fantastic weekend.
