The Return

I'm back.

Not that I've been gone. Just busy. I don't like being busy.

You see, I'm the pondering sort; the reflective type; the one who likes to process things mentally, emotionally, and spiritually (not to mention relationally).

What I am becoming more aware of now are the the thematic links that God weaves into our journey. For example: Alex (Mr. Intern #1) and I have been reading The Divine Conspiracy. Willard (the author) is going to great lengths to build his case for Jesus coming for more than just the answer to "how do I go to heaven when I die?" (There is indeed more to being a Christian than being forgiven.) I then notice that Dustin is closing his sermon with "Because Jesus has offered forgiveness to us, we can be empowered to live an inside-out kind of life."

Indeed. There's life abundant. A life where the Living God joins with us on a journey that does not end with time; a life even now that is beyond our imagining. It's not meant to sound grandiose--I mean that life is more and more real when lived in fellowship with Reality and those who have also caught a glimpse of him and follow the narrow (yet winding and beautiful) path.
