Why is this called the “Don’t be
such a chicken” challenge? Well, for one
thing, I think the word ‘chicken’ is funny.
And “chicken challenge” has a nice ring to it. And for another, it just seems to fit. Because this challenge is about doing things
that we are afraid of: praying the prayers we are afraid to pray, facing the
things inside of ourselves that we are afraid to face, and asking ourselves and
God the hard questions. It might take a
little guts to do this, but “Don’t be such a chicken.” You can do it! And you’ll be better for it! (I put this on its own blog to make it easier
to find. But it’s also at
myimpressionisticlife.blogspot.com.)
