That’s all most of us want. We come for the feel good part, but when the call to a good, meaningful life gets challenging (with or without the god language) we tend to turn away.

The title comes from a poem by Wilbur Rees. He’ll take “just enough to equal a cup of warm milk or a snooze in the sunshine. I don’t want enough of [a challenge] to make me love my enemy.” Just “Give me a pound of the Eternal in a paper sack.”

As important as comfort is, there’s more to being rightly alive than that. This Sunday, we’ll be brave and ask for more opportunities for right relationship. We’ll place our order for more challenge and hope.
