From Tennessee - Rocket Surgery?

One of the funnest quotes I overheard in a long time came this week came from Mark via his sister. It's not rocket surgery!

I have been with movement makers for five days straight. I feel alive. I love environments where I am constantly overhearing new things that matter.

I am near Newport, Tennessee. Some churches here handle snakes as part of getting to know God. I think they are guilty of turning a real relationship with Jesus into rocket surgery.

No matter what obstacle you are facing today, don't turn it into rocket surgery. Answers may be more simple and obvious than you think. Look for clarity. Look for next steps. Look for relationships and healthy environments. Leave the snakes alone. Simplify.
