I’ve never thought of myself as an adventurer. I like to limit the risk, if possible. I’ve never been attracted to motorcycles or fast cars, and two dollars is all I’m willing to risk even on a 11/2 billion dollar lottery ticket. I only had to climb to the top of a fire tower one time and it was enough to last me for the rest of my life. However, as I reviewed my life so far, I have gone on some adventures. After my Freshman year at South Dakota State University, I climbed on a bus and came to Anderson College not knowing anyone. While there I spent a summer in Nigeria West Africa. I went into pastoral ministry (always an adventure). When I wanted a post seminary education, I packed up my wife and two little girls and went to St. Andrews University in Scotland, U.K. for three years. That on reflection seems like much more adventurous than my personal view of myself. Now in my later years after careers in University teaching and pastoral ministry, I wonder what adventures are still out ahead of me. It seems God has set me on more adventurous paths than I expected, but isn’t that just like God who sees in us what we find difficult to see in ourselves. So look out adventure, I’m still hoping to meet you down the road a bit.
