Yes, I'm Sure!

My sister and I have become the mom's/aunties of 2 puppies. Pitbull puppies to be exact. They are very cute. As soon as I remember to bring the digital camera in, I will put a pic up for you to see. We have gotten alot of questions to the affect of: "Are you sure you want to do that? Pitbulls are mean. You aren't safe."

Funny thing is - that was very similar to my dialogue with people when I decided to move into the inner city. "Are you sure you want to do that? There is a lot of crime. You aren't safe."

People often expressing fears based on our oh so reliable source of the money driven, sensationalistic media...not too much from real life experience.

Besides safety is relative...and a little bit boring. While it can be scary getting too near the edge of the cliff, the view is breathtaking, the feeling is exhilerating...I feel like I am really living. What was the famous brave heart quote? Every (wo)man dies but not every (wo)man truly lives... :)

I want to live today in a way that will make eternity just as breathtaking and exhilerating!

Regardless of whether the claims of unsafety are true or not (which I truly believe most of them aren't)...God hasn't promised me safety...not in this life anyway.

And so I respond with much confidence, "Yes, I'm sure!" :)
