Crazy!

Have you ever watched “fans” before and just kinda scratched your head in wonder?  Not ceiling fans or box fans but the kind that you see crying and screaming in hysteria when a particular star or pop icon comes close to them.  You know like the old news reels from Beatlemania.... Or how about those people who throw certain pieces of clothing on the stage for performers..... I mean you have to ask yourself,  “who would want that stuff anyway? Why do they think anyone would want it?”  I’ve often wondered at the fact that people seem to give their hearts away to these “icons” who don’t even know they exist.  And what have these Super stars given to these, obviously, devoted fans?  A song or a movie that will be forgotten by next summer usually.  I watch people, who are “believers”,  paint themselves for football games, scream until they’re hoarse and spend a fortune on clothes and accessories to look like their favorite celebrity (you get the idea) I watch them balk at the idea of being different for the cause of Christ.  I mean, Heaven forbid that we catch some flack for being a Christ-follower.  I think that difference is that when you’re passionate about something or someone you don’t care what anyone thinks... You just want the person of your affection to know how much they mean to you.  So, to my point; How passionate are you about God?  God didn’t just release a single about a broken heart! He created the entire universe from the smallest particle to the largest planet.  As big as He is He still cares about how many hairs are on your head.... I don’t know about you but I want to be far more passionate about the awesomeness of God than I am about U2’s latest CD. (which I have and love) If I’m gonna be accused of crazy love I want it to mean something....
