My thoughts during Good Friday service

The ground I am standing on is Holy, I recognize that and have taken my shoes off.
I see his mercy flowing around me, as if I were in the center of a raging whirlpool.
His love out numbers the uncountable bubbles that have surronded me.
The water of eternal life, it surrounds me in a warm embrace.
It fills my soul with Hope.

Hope.

A reminder of the unconditional love that we are not worthy of receiving.
Love that I am not worth of receiving.

Moses had to walk up to his neck in the Red Sea before God parted the waters.
Are you going up, past your shoulders in the waters of this world. A public display of you love for him.

My ears have been too full of wax that I've been ignoring your voice recently.
I have been addicted to being busy.
To always have the sound of this world running through my ears.
Emotionally running away.

What is your bread and wine?
What garden am you taking care of?
Is your breathe becoming healing words?
Are you getting covered in the dirt of your Rabi?

Tragic Turn of Events / Move Pen Move



I discovered this song last night, I've been listening to it all day, on and off. I've just kept on coming back to it, the words pull my soul in. There is so much meaning behind these words I just can't even begin to describe. It's just so raw, it's beautiful.

It's 9 minutes, but just listen to the lyrics.

I prayed for my first stranger today

A girl came on the bus in tears. I couldn't do anything to help her, another girl came to see if she was alright.
I was powerless, so I prayed for this stranger.

Remember this:
Your heart will recover, it will never be the same again, but it will recover.
May you see that whatever you are feeling, it's ok.
God is sitting shiva with you, always.

Thanks Rob Bell

Job; joeb

This weekend I have started and almost finished (am just finishing in the next hour) to read the book of Job. It's a short book, only 42 chapters. I encourage you to take a day or two and read it, then lets talk about it. Alright?
