Just where is “Nexico”?

Be advised, this is not a typo! This is the story of us getting

bogged down in the stupid details of a ministry project, Justin

taking a restroom break and overhearing two five year old boys’

conversation:

“Guess what? The other day, we went jeepin’ in Nexico,

and it was fun!”

“Oh, yeah? Well, I went jeepin’ once too.”

End of story. Justin chuckled through reciting this crazy story,

wondering, “what kind of jeep? what type? what color? what

time of year? what trail?”. We realized God had spoken through

these little boys. We could sense Him saying, “You’re missing

the point. Just love me with all you’ve got and love other people

like I have. Keep it simple!”

Wow! Thanks, Leland, for picking up on that: “maybe that’s all

there is to this crazy journey. Everything follows after that.”

Much more than a song was born that night.

10. Jeepin’ in Nexico

(Deut. 6:4-5; Isa. 13:6-8; Matt. 22:34-39; John 17:10)

Crazy, complicated dream.

Where is the child in me?

Crazy, is ignorance so unkind?

Oh, to live the mystery!

All I have is Yours. All You have is mine!

Hallelujah! Jeepin in Nexico. Hallelujah.

Crazy, life’s simplicity.

To love and love and love.

Crazy, between the anvil and His hand.

My face is aflame!

All my heart. All my soul. All my mind.

All my strength.
