Reflections
Thoughts about living a more beautiful story.
I am left handed
What if I grew up going to church every week, and found a few obscure passages in which the Biblical authors called left-handedness an abomination? What if I discovered that the Apostle Paul, a brilliant legal and theological mind, occasionally slipped a condemnation of left-handedness into his writings? What if I heard sermons denouncing left-handedness as sin?
What's it all for anyway? (The sheep, the goats, and a verse in Micah)
I'm realizing that so much of what I'm involved in, and so much of what my current church (and most in my town) spends its money on is meeting the need for mental and spiritual experiences for the people of the organization. And it's hitting me that we are missing the mark.
My story of following Jesus toward a more beautiful story since the 1980s, with evolving and expanding views of the love of God in and out of pastoral ministry.
