Territories

I almost bought something stupid on ebay. In fact, the bid was secured. It was for a portable air conditioner on the cheap, and then I saw the instructions... just add ice... It was a grill you plugged into a cooler, thus transforming a humble old Igloo into an air conditioner.

Bad news. Bad news.

Life is full of silly moments mixed with the sacred.

It am coming to terms with a truth in worship. Often, in prayer we bump up against something we don't know. There is no name. We have stumbled into uncharted territory. We won't to rush back, or put it in a box. We are disconcerted. We do not know that we have been given a gift. We do not know that in that moment we have left ourselves, and slid into grace.
