faith-based commentary for people who think
We cannot legislate morality and we cannot pass a bill that stops irresponsibility. But we can work together to be more of a connected, concerned, supportive, accountable, mutually encouraging community.
Today my theme is still the emergence of spring color here in the woods around our home in Wake Forest.
Here’s my scripture for the day. It’s simply a celebration of God’s goodness and faithful love. Sometimes I wonder how I got to be so blessed as to be alive and enjoying such a good life!
My new Nikon D3400 – photos of the spring colors around Wake Forest. Happy birthday to me!
Scroll through, enjoy the photographs, and I’ll be back in your feed with some writing Wednesday morning.
We only hurt this much because we are equipped to love this much. Such tragedy is so hard to bear, yet the fact of it – the fact and the experience of the pain – proves why we must continue to drink Living Water, and share the Bread of Life, and live in intentional community, and whey we must love our families with a fierce passion.
God ripping apart the boundary of separation and reaching into time and space to find me, then gently parting the soil and planting the possibility for redemption.
“There is no community, no growing together in faith, no reaching out in mission, no real encouragement, and no accountability watching Osteen (or some other preacher) on TV…”
So today I’m grateful to Wake Forest Presbyterian Church for inviting us to live here in The Tar Heel State. And I am grateful to God, not only for encouraging Rebekah to say “yes”, but for so ordering our lives and with such mercy and grace.
The environment is a huge piece of the complex puzzle that contributes to making us whole people. In Romans 8 Paul points out how the entire created order is waiting for us (people) to “get it” to the extent that redemption is our way of life
