text: Interesting article/memories.  Thank you. 
  
  I think there are some people who desire a 'radical' Christianity "over there" or like to savor some big name Christian's work in some bygone era, while missing most of what God has lined up for them to do "right where they are now".
  
  We tend to lionize the big and grand radical actions of others, missing our own chance to have the Holy Spirit work "radically" and quietly through us today, now, mainly in our family life. 
  
  We like to prop up certain images of our heroes...perhaps because it takes the demand away for us to live our faith very radically and quietly in our own family and ordinary world.
