Ask 'Why' or Become a Y

SURRENDER: to relinquish possession or control to another, to give up in favor of another, to give back,

YIELD: to give forth by or as if by a natural process, especially cultivation, to furnish as return for effort or investment, be productive of, to give over possession of, as in derfernce, surrender. to give up to another, concede.

And so through the years I have clung in my soul to Yield signs. I ws glad to see this sign in Ireland. Written in Gaelic it means Yield or Give Way.

Another worldwide symbol is the white flag. Recently a new song came from the Passion conference. For years I have enjoyed their music but never explored what they stand for until now. From their facebook page they explain:

"At the heart of it all, Passion exists to see a generation stake their lives on what matters most. For us, that is the fame of the One who rescues and restores, and our opportunity to amplify His name in everything we do.



Given the fact that the University landscape changes every fall with a rush of new freshman faces, our mission with Passion is to continue to engage the “university-moment” with the compelling message of Jesus...… and the challenge to make life all about His fame.

To that end, Passion 2012 is more than simply another event. Rather, it is another step in a journey that is all about finding true meaning as we take our places in a story that is so much bigger than ourselves. It's about trading in small dreams for a role in a grand epic that is shaping history and has no end. And it's a rare chance for tens of thousands of university-aged young people to gather from across the US and around the world to celebrate their common faith and purpose."


So on the topic of yielding and suurender to the Lord, here is another great song!
