but maybe other people start to notice for you too?
i have this awesome friend Natalie and today she gave me this awesome gift!
it's a little carrier bag. she said she got it for me because it says "renown".
well, she volunteered at Passion 2012 and grabbed this bag for me there.
but (probably) little does she know that Louie and the Passion gang are the ones who even taught me what "renown" is and that it's the only thing that matters.
(probably) Little does she know that it was the ethos of the Passion movement that was a catalytic and life changing movement in my life's extremely formative college-ish years & is why i now call this blog "renown".
thanks for thinking of me, Natalie. the gift came to me through a delivery girl (my wife) so since i didn't get to tell you thanks in person, so... Thanks, Natalie!
the bag actually has the full "passion version" (2 versions mixed) of Isaiah 26:8 printed around the bag - "Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your truth, we wait eagerly for you; for YOUR NAME AND YOUR RENOWN ARE THE DESIRE OF OUR SOULS."
that was the founding deal for Passion. that little idea changed my life. still is...
