I seem to know a lot of fanatics. I know people who are exercise fanatics. They spend a lot of time in the gym. I know people who are diet fanatics. They are always trying a new diet plan. I know people who are health fanatics. I know people who are history fanatics. I know people who are football fanatics. And I know people who are witnessing fanatics.
One thing all fanatics have in common is that not only are they really into what they do, they think that everyone should also be a fanatic like they are. And because of this they almost despise anyone who is not as zealous as they are.
Age has given me stability and balance. I do not get over excited about anything. I have tried a lot of things, most of which I can live without.
There is a reason why our Fellowship is youth oriented. Youth still can get fired up and excited. Older folks remember but that is all that they can do.
So if exercise or football or evangelism is the focus of your life, go for it. Just don't expect me to join you.
