The Hard Work Of Sowing Seed In

I Don't Want To End Up A Bureaucrat In The Time-management Business For God Or A Librarian Cataloguing Timeless Truths. Salvation Is Kicking In The Womb Of Creation Right Now, Any Time Now. Pay Attention.

Go Out Into The World Uncorrupted, A Breath Of Fresh Air In This Squalid And Polluted Society. Provide People With A Glimpse Of Good Living And Of The Living God.

Real Faith Is Refined In The Fires And Storms Of Pain.

This Kingdom Of God Life Is Not A Matter Of Waking Up Each Morning With A List Of Chores Or An Agenda To Be Tended To, Left On Our Bedside Table By The Holy Spirit For Us While We Slept. We Wake Up Already Immersed In A Large Story Of Creation And Covenant, Of Israel And Jesus, The Story Of Jesus And The Stories That Jesus Told. We Let Ourselves Be Formed By These Formative Stories, And Especially As We Listen To The Stories That Jesus Tells, Get A Feel For The Way He Does It, The Way He Talks, The Way He Treats People, The Jesus Way.

I Will Not Try To Run My Own Life Or The Lives Of Others; That Is God's Business.
