This post really resonates with me.

A couple months ago, I picked up a copy of The Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that since, my life hasn’t been the same. I, too, strive to be a Christarchist.

Resistence - of those impulses to rely on self instead of God, and of giving up because I’m surrounded by a society that lives in denial of its mess - is so hard. I compare becoming a Christarchist, or living like an ordinary radical, to skydiving. I want to do it, I’m excited about it…but there’s no way I can jump out of the plane alone. I feel like if it’s going to happen, I need to be strapped to someone who isn’t afraid or I have to jump with a group of people.

In the words of Claiborne, I feel like I’ve gone sane in a crazy world. But without “fellow skydivers,” I sometimes just start to feel crazy. :-/

Anyway, it’s cool to have come across someone who shares my sentiments!
