A good day for a Friday, spirit

The yellow box inspired the post below…

John 3:16

Saved a short article from a 20-year old church bulletin, just read it, and now this thought…

Article entitled, “Why Parables?”

Jesus spoke in parables because “people look without seeing and listen without hearing or understanding”.

Back to John 3:16.

“There is no greater love than to lay down your life for another.”

But what if it means to lay down our old life to save our own life?

Give me some good news, spirit

Meet at Church? Which Church? Doesn’t matter. Remember, every step is Church. Any day. Every day. How’s that for some good news!

Give you some good news?

Sure.

Tomorrow is Good Friday.

Spoiler alert…

HE is Risen!

Ownership determines motivation, spirit

Rough outline of my 1982 bicycle trip. It was three weeks and 1,100 miles from Philadelphia to Walt Disney World. Not the original vision. The original vision was to head West once in the Autumn warmth of ‘the South’ and then head North upon reaching the Pacific, to Washington State. My best friend lived in Pullman as a Residence Hall Director at Washington State University.

Ownership is what you learn after you think you’ve learned it all.

Take my 1982 solo, cross-country bicycle trip.

As a former Boy Scout, i learned and embraced the Scout motto, “Be prepared”.

Planned for everything.

Including what i’d need to do when my $75 cash ran out, and no credit card for a backup.

Felt locked and loaded when i left Philly and headed South.

But, i didn’t know i needed to plan for this…

Imagine no one is in a forest and a tree falls. Does it make any noise?

Now imagine seeing so much beauty on the top of the Skyline Drive, with the valleys shrouded in a blanket of low clouds and above the clouds stunning, peak Fall foliage. But i’m alone.

With no one to share the extraordinarily beautiful view with me, is it really that beautiful?

Insight: The answer is no.

Live and let live.

Kinda like loving your neighbor as yourself.

People will love differently than you.

People will love better than you.

People will love worse than you.

People will like how you love and care.

People will dislike how you love and care.

Through it all, remember this mantra…

Live and let live.

Insight: This is what you want others to do for you as well.
