Cracks



Cracks

breaches, chasms, god restores
There is nothing so broken it cannot be repaired by the love of God


I see cracks in the sidewalk.

Where did they come from...can they be repaired?

I see cracks in our souls.

How did they get there...can they be repaired?

Cracks of discouragement.

Cracks of failure.

Cracks of broken dreams.

Cracks of chaos.

Cracks of loved ones lost.

Cracks of betrayal.

Who can touch them...make them whole?

The Father is the glue...The Eternal One is His name.

He is the repairer of the breach...the cross to span the chasm of brokenness.

Like hot tar that fills the crack in the asphalt, so the Lord fills up the cracks in our souls.

Cracks...how did they get there...can they be repaired?

The Shack- A review of the controversy

Not all things can be taken at face value- sometimes you must dig a bit deeper *** Spoiler alert- I am going to be writing my thoughts about The Shack , by William P. Young. In this review/discussion, some of the details of the book will be revealed. Some may not have read the book, some may not care to. I pray that my discussion will at least pique your curiosity to investigate it for yourself, but I do apologize for any plot revelations. *** Things are not always what they seem. At least that has been my experience in life. As soon as I think I have a situation/person figured out, they shock the daylights out of me. Some things in life are predictable; we know the sun will rise each morning, most of us have our "routine", but there are times when life just surprises. I was given a copy of the book, The Shack  by William P. Young, from a friend at church who told me, "this book has changed my life; you should read it". I took it from her happily, bei...

Spare Change...How Do You Spend It?

It’s Friday afternoon, and I am beginning my weekly countdown to 5 pm. Only a few more hours to go, and then I will be free for the weekend to do whatever I please. Or will I? How many times a day do you think this way, "I am free to do as I please"?  I realize many of us spend our days dictated by someone else’s schedule or agenda. We have jobs that tell us when to arrive and when to leave. We have expectations and goals to meet each day, and they are rarely set by us. It would stand to reason that when we break out of that routine, we wish to control the remainder of our time - our “spare change” if you would. We rarely value time as a commodity, until we run out of it. Our desperate attempt to grab hold of whatever extra minutes we can find and hoard them for ourselves is a natural reaction, but not the most valuable or advantageous. We all have obligations in life. We must eat. We must have shelter. We must have clean clothing. We must be able to pro...

What is...

What do we see when we look? What Is? God is …like the first breath of spring blowing warm across a snow dusted cove God is …like the fires lighting up the skies as the spring storms rage and blow God is … as brilliant as a thousand sunsets; painting endless colors across the vast reaches of an open sky Love is …like the unloved and smelly multitudes being touched with compassionate hands Love is …like the heartfelt caress across the fevered brow of a dying man Love is … like the soft, warm, sweet breath of an innocent newborn babe Faith is …like stepping over the precipice with no guarantee of solid ground Faith is …like seeing beyond the mistakes made to the injured souls who exist within them Faith is …like the sight of new wood peeking out from beneath the ragged, dead skin of a winter-worn tree God exists within Love Love exists within Faith Faith is the hope of an unseen but seen God Because What is…Is.
