The Life You Want Begins By Embracing

I Think That At The Core Of Faith Is Trust.

Fear Wants Us To Become Obsessed With Some Event Or Person In The Future, A Year, A Month, Even A Day. It Also Wants Us To Look Backwards Not At Our Successes, But Our Short-comings And Our Failures. Fear Losses It's Grip When We Stay In The Now.

The Vibrant, Real Historic Christian Faith Is Very Wide And Leaves Lots And Lots Of Room For Varying Perspectives. It's Very Diverse And Wide, That's Part Of It's Strength, Life And Vibrancy.

You're Here, You're Breathing, You Are The Recipient Of An Extraordinary Act Of Generosity Called Life.

When Isaiah Predicted That Spears Would Become Pruning Hooks, That's A Reference To Cultivating. Pruning And Trimming And Growing And Paying Close Attention To The Plants And Whether They're Getting Enough Water And If Their Roots Are Deep Enough. Soil Under The Fingernails, Grapes Being Trampled Under Bare Feet, Fingers Sticky From Handling Fresh Fruit. It's That Green Stripe You Get Around The Sole Of Your Shoes When You Mow The Lawn. Life In The Age To Come. Earthy.
