Great Parkour Vid

This is a wonderful little video (its a slow start but keep watching to be impressed!) – thanks Roy for the link.

I always love watching this stuff and feel a mixture of both envy (wishing I could do this) and pure amazement at the agility and strength of thee guys.

There is something here I love about seeing a more creative way to go, traveling on a more exciting journey, just because it is more exciting then following the straight A to B route. The parkour route takes a lot longer, it uses up a lot more energy, you get hurt more – but the adrenalin, risk and excitement levels are high all the time.

A message for church maybe – too many taking the easy A to B route for simplicity and speed. We need more Parkour churches, churches that wish to create, see things in a new light, find new routes, re-define the journey, re-imgine how we can arrive, accept we all arrive via different routes, accept we all want to move on in different routes … I’m going into a rant – and anyway … you know what I mean!
