Solo Tag.

Hello.

Are you ready? Because I have the coolest game for you guys to play. No, I’m serious. It’s so much fun.

It's tag.

But it's special tag. It’s solo tag, meaning you have to play by yourself. It plays like this: you’re the tagger and the taggee. Ready?

Okay. Go! Run as fast as you can. Run! Run away from yourself. Keep running. Go, Go, Go. Get away from yourself.

Keep on Running.

Wait, why aren't you running anymore? Oh you're right there? Yeah, it must be kind of hard to run from yourself. Maybe if you run in a circle?...a square?...I know, a diamond?.... still not working? Well, try this then; try faking yourself out...bust a move. I’m not kidding...do a dance. Fake it to the left. Fake it to the right, the left. Left again. Okay, the right.

So if you're like me at all you're going to die laughing as you picture someone actually trying to play solo tag (and my apologies for those of you who have tried - just stop now while you’re ahead, ha). It doesn't make sense. Solo tag doesn't make sense. So why would anyone play such a game? Why would we run as fast as we can away from ourselves?

But as Christians we run from God? But why? If we invited Him into our hearts and He lives in us then He is part of us, correct? So running away from Him would be like playing solo tag, a lot of energy for not so much progression....are we tracking?

So instead of running from God, running from our problems, running from our fears, our pains, and our insecurities, let's just run so as to give our all to God.

Anybody coming?

Cheering you on as we run to give our Lord the glory, honor, and praise He deserves.

May you not run from who you were created to be, but embrace the beautiful design that you are.
