Much of life is a choice to fling or not to fling. Will we be extravagant with the love we’ve been given, or will we hold ourselves back because of fear, the chance that all our flinging might not make a difference, or that we’ll be hurt in the process? “An abundant imagination feeds us courage,” my pastor Michael Rudzena said. “There is more than just one shot. There are seeds showering down all around us.”
