Oh, hello there !!

Who I am is a human. The only human, in fact, that is precisely me. And I do know that I am a person because the Person made me in His likeness. And I do know that I am a Son of an eternal Father, because the eternal Father Himself has loved me and grafted me into His Family.

He's a courageous one, this Father. A real wild one. Totally unpredicatable and yet outrageously consistent to His own nature. I mean He absolutely does all that is in His heart to do. And He does not ever speak unless He is speaking Truth. Yes, this one is quite the Creator. I've read it to be true that He brought galaxies into existence by doing nothing more than speaking His Creative Words. What a wonder. To bring to pass and into being that which He had already... dreamed about. What a dangerous dreamer to dream up worlds and suns. What a daring Father to ask it of His Son Jesus to lay down his life like a lamb for the slaughter. What a scandal. How outrageous that the Infinite God would become so Intimate to my circumstances by taking on this human flesh. And then willingly lay down His life. For me. For you. What a Ridiculous God we have. And all He asks of you and I is to have faith. To believe. Such an inexhaustibly rich creative unction and power to be released into the earth. Faith. Ah, it is so unnerving. So F r e e i n g. That I would consider things which are marvelous, marvel upon them, and embrace them as my own. Liberation my lifestlye. What?

He is such a terrible business man, is He not? Who receives upon trade ashes and gives away beauty? Who would bargain for shackles only to give away Salvation?

Why would the God of the highest heavens dethrone Himself from Majestic Untouchable position in Splendor to be seeded in amniotic fluids and burst forth from the loins of a young Jewish girl in a little town called Bethlehem? Why would the King of Kings labor and sweat as a human in the lowest of castes? Why would He become one of us.

So that we might become One In Him.

Because He is a Radical Lover.

And yes, He proved it.

I Dream with the Lions.
I Lay down with Lambs.

I am becoming like Jesus.

I write. I adventure. I pray. I dance. I love.
