			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, we started a new series titled, DIRECTIONS:&#160; Going wherever God leads us.</p>
<p><a href="http://myepicjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/windowslivewriterchickenorapig-11aebdirection-2.gif"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="200" alt="direction" src="http://myepicjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/windowslivewriterchickenorapig-11aebdirection-thumb.gif" width="333" border="0" /></a> </p>
<p>We started with Romans 12.1-2 and asked these questions:</p>
<blockquote><p>What is true worship?</p>
<p>What does it mean to be a living sacrifice?</p>
<p>What does this look like practically in my world?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>We started and ended with a fairly poignant story.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>A chicken and a pig went for a walk around the farm. As they passed the farmer&#8217;s window they noticed a wonderful breakfast prepared for the farmer and his wife sitting on the breakfast table. As they peeked closer they noticed bacon and eggs on the plates.</em></p>
<p><em>The pig and chicken were silent for a moment as they took in the impact of what they saw. Finally, looking at the eggs and prideful of her contribution, the chicken said, &#8220;now that was a sacrifice!&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>The pig looked at the bacon on the plate and finally turned to the chicken and said, &#8220;Yes, for you it is a sacrifice. But for us it is total commitment!&#8221;</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>We asked the question, spiritually speaking, are you a chicken or a pig?</p>
<p>I was just wondering, how would you answer?</p>
