Community

What is community but a fellowship of hearts united in the desire to love and serve those outside the tent.

If a community was just to serve and make comfortable it's own members, it is not a community but a clique or a club.

Shall we feast and fellowship in the Church and leave the Lost to starve and freeze in the cold.

If we are to truly follow Jesus' commandment and love others as we love ourselves, then we have to become friends of sinners. We need to love unselfishly the Wiccan, Gay, lost, lonely and strange. We have to show graciousness to those different from ourselves. We have to make holy the secular and even the unholy as we through Christ redeem the times.

Too long have we sat in our Church strongholds to protect us in the culture wars. This is a tactic of demons. We have to let down our drawbridge of pride. We have to sally forth to win the world with our love.

Spiritual Fathers are Rare

As I look back on my spiritual walk I realize how rare spiritual Fathers are. I know that the priests and ministers did the best they could, but there are too few of them really.

I realize how much I just put together and put in practice by myself. Books and speakers can be great teachers but they are inadequate.

What I would not have given to have someone show me how to walk the Christian walk. Not as advice from on high, but as a dialogue.

So much is lost between generations spiritual and physical it is a tragedy.

More Thoughts Soon to Come

It has been quite a while since I have posted anything. I hope to come up with some important thoughts soon. Right now I have been quashed by the Tax Season at work. Once I get into March I might have time to breath again.

I have been reading The Obsidian Trilogy by Mercedes Lackey. She is one of my favorite Fantasy Authors even though she is often New Agey and sometimes cornball. I just can't help falling in love with her stories though, she really makes you care about her Characters. In fact I cried while reading The outstretched Shadow, when Kellen found out he was a Knight-Mage.

Truly cornball folks.

See ya soon
