Challenge causes action, or growth. There are about 18 different, but slightly similar, definitions of the word challenge in the dictionary, but only one that remotely deals with today’s use of the word. Challenge: to call for events that challenges our attention. My own, and preferred, definition is: to perform beyond all normal expectations, often at great emotional, physical, or financial risk; to do the impossible when all around you think that you cannot. This type of CHALLENGE has defined me the majority of my life. I love the type of challenge that defies the norm, the un-expected, and the impossible. To be this type of person requires one to RIDE ON THE EDGE of life; to be different, even to the point of being labeled an ODD-BALL. That would be me, as my norm is abnormal. If you want something done that seemingly, no one else thinks possible; then CHALLENGE me to do it. These types of characteristics separate the doers from the talkers. Are you a doer or a talker? 1 Samuel 17:45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
