We were having a “marriage moment” in front of a dozen teens and a few sponsors.  Our bike trip group was at the top of Brockway Mountain Drive in Copper Harbor, Michigan.  A “miles long” twisting descent to the bottom was before us, and a couple of teens on a tandem recumbent bike challenged me to race them down the mountain.  What could I say?  Oh sure, I was a grandpa, a pastor, and the Bible Teacher for the week, but seriously, what could go wrong?  Doesn’t everybody think that going 40mph on two skinny wheels sounds like fun?  Diane didn’t.  She thought it was reckless and risky and dumb.  “You are crazy,” she said.  I took it as a compliment but I don’t think that was her intent.  I was winning that race until their youth and gravity began to favor them.  We all arrived safely at the bottom, no skinned up extremities or broken bones.  I was smiling, she said to me again, “You are crazy.” I took it as a compliment but I don’t think that was her intent.  She may have been right.  You know what is really crazy in some people’s minds?  The gospel.  For over 1900 years, we have been living downstream of the events that changed the entire course of humanity for eternity and some people think it is crazy.  It made perfect sense to Paul. It makes perfect sense to millions of people but it also sounds crazy to millions more.  Which side of crazy are you on?  You’ll find out Sunday.
