Domestication Sucks

That's right, The OD has been in existence for approximately 2.5 years, and we have come to the conclusion that we are on the verge of being domesticated. That is a bad thing. We have been slowly falling into a routine. That is a bad thing. We have become kind of comfortable. That is also a bad thing.

The good thing is we have a fairly large group of people who become very uncomfortable with being comfortable. So, in the past week, we have started to take some action. Mainly having open discussions about what we do and how we do it. This leads to new ideas and suggestions. Some of them totally loopy and some are great. The point is, we need to be constantly looking at what we do and why we do it, so that we are intentional and on point in our journey with Jesus. Our eyes need to be fixed on Him. Our lives must reflect Him.

Any group will fall into complacency after doing the same old thing every week. Domestication sucks, but it is inevitable, unless we determine to keep the spark that set us off in the first place. We need to have fun with God and each other. This is a love relationship after all, is it not?

Let's face it, people know when your in love because they see it on your face and in your actions.

So, pee on the carpet every now and then......... even if it ties the room together.

Peace,
