Catharsis.
Catharsis is hard.
Catharsis: <Gk kátharsis> a cleansing
This past week we had a great message preached by this guy – Chilly Chilton he preached about the life of Moses.
He has been on a series of “Motion” and how God has created us to move, its been a really good series. Get the free podcast on iTunes.
Anyways, at the end of our services we are given 5 questions, regarding the message just spoken, by our pastor to discuss and talk amongst each other as a body.
One of the questions that was asked this week, that has really challenged me to be different is this:
Do you have a heart for the lost, if not how can God transplant a heart for the lost into you?
Not exactly the way my pastor worded the question, but you get the gist.
After reading that I had to really ponder, two things arose.
1. I dont have a heart for the lost.
2 I have a heart for video games, sports, fantasy football, tv & movies.
So as a result of these two conclusions I have determined to catharsis myself, or purge myself that I have listed in #2. Its been pretty hard, so many times I have wanted to just sit down and watch a movie. Play some video games, or go lose myself of reality in a movie. Now the kicker?
Once fantasy football season arrives, I mean football season arrives. I am gonna be so tempted to want to join a league. But this makes me accountable, I am not joining a league this year… (To be honest I had already been mock drafting for this year) [pathetic i know 
]
Its been harder than I thought especially my conversation with people with sports being out as a topic, its been a rough transition, especially at work. I had to catch myself to stop talking about the signings/trades/moves made in the NBA/Pistons.
I need to talk about the trades/moves/signings God has made this day/week/year/season with them more. And to everyone else I come to contact with…
Peace… need more cleansing…
