"Follow your heart and fear does not exist"

On Sunday I start a new sermon series on the life of King Hezekiah called "Faith>Fear." I'll have to weave in this post from Wired's Beth Carter about the man who recently rode a 100-foot wave:

Garrett McNamara felt many things as the monster wave approached. Excitement. Awe. Joy. The one thing he did not feel, however, is fear.

That might seem unusual, given that he was about to ride what is believed to have been a 100-foot wave on Monday. But there was no place in his heart, or mind, for such things. He was focused utterly on the moment.

“If you have fear then it means you are not living in the moment,” McNamara told Wired by e-mail from Nazaré, Portugal. “You are either stuck in the past or worrying about the future. It is important to not think and just do! Follow your heart and fear does not exist.”

"There's No Place for Fear When Riding a 100-foot Wave," Beth Carter for Wired
