So HC!!!!

Hand, knee, shoulder in a hammock over water?  ... So HC!

HC is an acronym I made up. Short for Hard Core. I want to be Hard Core. Maybe that's why I rock climb, or leave body prints, or go to India and get malaria, why I wanna join the Peace Corps, teach in an underdeveloped country, and ride trains in sleeper class. I admire people who are HC, want to visit HC places, and do HC activities. This quote from the sermon on Sabbath gave me another sip of what HC is. Especially, if I can be HC for my GOD. Bam! I wanna be HC for Him like this ....

Hard Core (HC) Commitment - taken from an African Martyr

“I’m part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made – I’m a disciple of His. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I’m finished and done with low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, am uplifted by prayer and I labor with power.

My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the enemy, pander at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won’t give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work until He stops me. And, when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me…my banner will be clear.”
