I WONDER ABOUT US

In working with us and living among us and dealing with us...I have experience you know...I have begun to wonder about us.

I think there is a strong possibility that our obsession with control and always being right and continually preserving our self-image are signs that we are just as afraid to live as we are to die.

All want robust life.  We want to see growth and marvel and victory....everywhere. 

Yet, we continue to invent humanistic ways to walk in the shrinking backwoods of humanity rather than the lush forest of the Divine.

Giving.  Serving.  Dying.  All a part of life in the kingdom.

Keeping.  Being served.  Being preserved.  All a fight for self.

Once again....the road Jesus travels is the correct path.
