Baptisms and New Creations

The skies were ripped a part, creations was re-written because you are Beloved. With no expectations and no accomplishments, just the hope that you will become fully who you are created to be, that you will love abundantly, that you will step into the work of justice and mercy, to treat your neighbor as beloved as well. In these moments the tangible and intangible, Heaven and Earth touch, the veil is thin and God comes close. 

Discipleship and Integrity

So we consciously and with intention curate. We make choices, every day, at least most days, like one who makes choices for a museum or library. I believe that we are creative creatures because we have a creative God. We bring and curate and create around us and so we have to ask: What brings us more joy? What brings my family, church, community more joy? What brings the world more joy? Because don’t think that it’s what we subtract from our lives but what we add to it. We learn from our story today what kinds of things we ought to add to our lives, what might bring us joy, bring our community joy, bring joy to the world.
