“Strong reasons make strong actions.”

-William Shakespeare

 

When I came across this quote the other day it really rang true for me.  Think about it:

ACTION: You down a small, frozen pizza BY YOURSELF.

REASON:  You skipped breakfast and your stomach is making annoying sound effects.

ACTION:  After work you book it straight to the gym and jump on a treadmill while praying that you’ll sweat off 5 pounds.

REASON:  You had to suck in your gut while doing an embarrassing dance in order to button your pants this morning.

ACTION: You find out when Kohls is having their “BIGGEST SALE EVER” and buy new pants.

REASON:  You don’t want to be attached to a treadmill for the rest of your life.

 See, when we really feel we have a reason to do something, we simply DO IT!  Now, I know it’s been a few weeks since we’ve pledged towards the CRAZY Campaign and the passion and zeal is starting to fade, but we can’t forget our REASON for pledging. Everyone’s reason is different.  Some wanted to test their faith, some wanted to learn dependency on God, and some just simply felt the tug to obey.  Even though our Strong reasons are different, our Strong action is the same, BE CRAZY!
