Wild Goose Chase

"I would like to think that when I pronounce the benediction at the end of our church services, I am sending dangerous people back into their natural habitiat to wreak havoc on the Enemy."

And while the name may sound a little sacrilegious, I cannot think of a better description of what it’s like to follow the Spirit through life. I think the Celtic Christians were on to something….
Most of us will have no idea where we are going most of the time. And I know that is unsettling. But circumstantial uncertainty also goes by another name: Adventure.” --from the introduction.
