Thursday, January 21-January 27, 2021 www.shelbyinfo.com 704/484-1047 - shelby shopper & info - Page 21 I have fi gured out that men will do just about anything in order to feed their need for risk and adventure. Of course, many women will do this as well but overall it really is men who seem to what to test the limits of normality. With just a quick online search, one can fi nd ex- amples of those who are doing things from bungee jumping from bridges to those who are using fl ying suits to soar through a deep valley like a bird. As many of you know, there is even the Olympic venue called the X (extreme) Games. These are made up of men and women once again testing the limits of man and machine. It really does make you wonder who the fi rst to try some of these things was, and is he/she even around any longer to see it come to fruition. They remind me of the teacher who leads the course in suicide bombing. He looks at his students and says, "Now watch close, I'm only going to do this once." In the hunting and fi shing world we have these individuals as well. For instance, who decided that hog hunting would be a lot more exciting if we rushed in on the hog when the dogs had it cornered and stuck it with a knife? And how much was he drinking when he came to this conclusion. The same goes with the fi sherman who decided that anyone can catch a catfi sh with rod and reel. Instead, he decides to reach in the hole where they live and bring them out by hand. All of these are simply examples of those believe that if you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room. Is this normal? I actually think it is. Don't get me wrong. I don't think it's normal to catch fi sh by hand and hunt hogs with knives, but I do think the desire to live on the edge is. In fact, I believe God made men this way and He wants us to live that way in areas that have an eternal impact. It can be something as extreme as fl ying Bibles into a com- munist country or as extreme as taking your paycheck that you depend on and giving it to a homeless individual. Both of these put you in a riskier place. Would God ever ask us to do something like that? Well, the Bible is full of examples when He did. The questions then are these. If God did it in the past, is there a possibility he would do it today? And, if he would do it today, is it possible he would ask me to do it? As you can see, the answer to both of these questions is yes. So, the next time you sense God asking you to do something strange, realize it's just like God to ask and it's just like you to say okay.
