Find your "bomp."

Today I am going to pose the age old question.....

Who put the bomp in the bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp?
Who put the ram in the ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong?
Who put the bop in the bop sh-bop sh-bop?
Who put the dip in the dip da dip da dip?

If you don't recognize those lyrics, they are from a 50's era song by the Viscounts. Silly lyrics for sure, but for the last week or so there is a new "bomp" in my "bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp!" I know you thinking that "Shannon has really lost it this time." But just stay with me.... I am talking about "Passion." There has got to be something that gets your blood pumping, that gets your juices flowing, that moves you. I am not going to get into any details right now, but I am considering some changes that have me fired up! Amy and I had lunch with Greg and Liz Oraham yesterday and it was awesome. They shared their passions with us about where Foothills Community Church has come and where it is going....and let me tell you, these people are PASSIONATE about reaching people for Christ. They just light up when they start talking about it.

I guess the whole point of todays blog is to find your "bomp." Figure out what your passion is and use that passion to serve God. You see, HE is the one who can put the bomp in your bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp, or the ram in your ram-a-lam-a-ding dong. Serving God passionately changes your life. Everything is better, you love your spouse better, you love your children better, you love your neighbors better, you have a clearer perspective, you look forward to everyday AND you can weather the storms better.
