Wild Goose Chase

This past Sunday, our church began a 6 week examination of some of the cages that keep us from realizing the adventurous life that Jesus really has for us. We made available a simple, little book that has really amped up my desire to more fully follow Christ. Written by Mark Batterson, the book is entitled, Wild Goose Chase. On the first page, Mark writes the following as a way of introduction:

The Celtic Christians had a name for the Holy Spirit that has always intrigued me. They called Him An Geadh-Glas, or "the Wild Goose." I love the imagery and implications... Much like a wild goose, the Spirit of God cannot be tracked or tamed. An element of danger and an air of unpredicatability surround Him. and while the name may sound a little sacrilegious at first earshot, I cannot think of a better description of what it's like to pursue the Spirit's leading through life than Wild Goose chase.
