Where to start in this? I will start by stating what is in my mind right now. A thought that runs down deep into my soul. A thought that persists as the years follow me. And do they follow. 32 to be exact. It's God that I think about. I think of Him all the time. Sometimes with Him. Sometimes outside of Him...if you can do so. Probably not. But in this free-will we can choose to be in or out of Him. In. Before I explain what that is like. I have to be careful. You see I was born and raised "in" Him. The "in" is a compalation of a Christian home with "ministry" as the backbone and where the godly life was nothing more than a learned habit. It was complicated with good intentions and a genuine love for God. And yes, the Spirit was alive and well. But there were plenty of cracks to fill with judgements and ignorances and somehow through it all, Jesus was lost. I think He gets lost a lot in the Christian community. I don't quite know if it's the American version of Chrisitianity or maybe the human translation of the "New Life". Whatever it is, reality beomes engrossed in it and we comply to our basic senses and "dying to self" becomes nothing more than unrealistic or old fashion. Do we facsinate over the power of the Spirit or just not believe it's power? Bible stories? What are they? Did they really exist. Moses. Who was he? Did the waters really rise to the sky and the people walk on towards their freedom on dry ground? Jesus. Son of God? The only Living God who is the creature of all things. Creator of oceans, galaxies, species, gravity, psychology, Hitler, time?
