So, a few of us got together on Sunday. There was some good conversation. To me, it's amazing when we find a safe place to open up about our lives. And it's also amazing to hear/see what just flows when we recognize that trust exists and we can really be ourselves...
On Monday morning I was thinking about some of the conversation. Here's a bit of the flow of thoughts coming after Sunday...on Monday, if that makes sense...
Am I uncomfortable with the things that make God uncomfortable? Death, injustice, poverty - things like these "bother" God. I can comfortably omit them from my radar...
Weird expressions of faith - certain language, music, mannerisms and practices that make the "in crowd" (variously defined as "believers", "church attenders", "Christians", etc.) comfortable, but others uncomfortable - do these make God uncomfortable? Are these "expressions of faith" "sins of commission" by churches and those who claim to be followers of Jesus?
Next Sunday, the 17th, at Mark and Lyn's at 6PM...hope to see you there.
