God Is A Kooky God Who Can

The Way You Are With Others Every Day, Regardless Of Their Status, Is The True Test Of Faith.

Creation Discloses A Power That Baffles Our Minds And Beggars Our Speech. We Are Enamored And Enchanted By God's Power. We Stutter And Stammer About God's Holiness. We Tremble Before God's Majesty... And Yet, We Grow Squeamish And Skittish Before God's Love.

My Trust In God Flows Out Of The Experience Of His Loving Me, Day In And Day Out, Whether The Day Is Stormy Or Fair, Whether I'm Sick Or In Good Health, Whether I'm In A State Of Grace Or Disgrace. He Comes To Me Where I Live And Loves Me As I Am.

Our Culture Says That Ruthless Competition Is The Key To Success. Jesus Says That Ruthless Compassion Is The Purpose Of Our Journey.

And Grace Calls Out, 'you Are Not Just A Disillusioned Old Man Who May Die Soon, A Middle-aged Woman Stuck In A Job And Desperately Wanting To Get Out, A Young Person Feeling The Fire In The Belly Begin To Grow Cold. You May Be Insecure, Inadequate, Mistaken Or Potbellied. Death, Panic, Depression, And Disillusionment May Be Near You. But You Are Not Just That. You Are Accepted.' Never Confuse Your Perception Of Yourself With The Mystery That You Really Are Accepted.
