Carrying a cross up a hill

A group from my church is on a mission to go through an obstacle course carrying a giant 130 pound cross. We will collect donations from supporters and then make sure all our donations go back to ministries our church is involved in and we support.

When I have told other people about this some of them laugh and some of them think it is ridiculous and absurd. A friend of mine who spends a lot of time playing video games told me I could hurt myself and I should be careful. He told me we may not raise much and we maybe over hyping this thing we want to do. I know he means well by the advice he gave but at the end of the day sitting on sofa or infront of PC playing video games in my free time does not cut it for me. I want more than that! I want more then the simple comforts our society gives us. I want my life & my time & my memories to be filled with more then just video games or coffee or movies or anything else I could fill me life & my time with.

I want remember being a part of something that was big and beyond what I could do or what a couple people could come up with. I want to be so sold out to something I am willing to do something that sounds absurd or ridiculous, especially if it helps people.
