Safe? Who said anything about this life being safe?

Indeed, I don't recall anyone really saying this life we live is safe. Of course, I'm really talking about the life in Christ. It's anything but safe. It's dangerous, risky, wild, and passionate. This is the very nature of life. It is an adventure. You just never know what will happen next.

Last night my wife and I went to an REO Speedwagon concert in South Bend, IN. As we were looking for a parking spot, we got hit/rubbed by another car. I had pulled into what I thought was a parking spot, but then saw the yellow paint on the curb and realized I had pulled into a crosswalk. I wasn't in a valid parking spot. So I began to back up and WHAM! The damage was not all that bad to the car. I never even saw the other car until after it all happened. This makes me think maybe the other driver was just going too fast. We waited for the police to arrive so a report could be made. After that, my wife and I were free to go. We did go to the concert.

This whole experience just proves how life is dangerous. Life can happen so quick that you don't even see it coming. This also reminded me of just how desperately dependent on God I am. I am so thankful that no one was hurt.
