GREETINGS!

BlogFam,

Have you ever wondered why the Lord continues to call you seemingly in spite of your personal history?  Have you ever wondered why you still have any kind of divine assignment in the Kingdom given your recent attitude, challenges, or shortcomings?  Have you ever wondered why the Lord keeps sending you out when you would have made it clear in so many ways and words that you would rather not go right now?

Friends, I think we have all had these kinds of thoughts at some point.

Greetings!

BlogFam, 

I have to backtrack for a moment. There was a phrase, a vague description that I must go back and reflect upon.  

Here is the verse:

 After that he appeared in a different form to two of them who were walking along in the countryside. 

Here is the description within that verse that has given me pause this morning:

 After that he appeared in a different form...

Friends, what does that look like?  What kind of a different form?  How did He appear to them?

Greetings!

BlogFam, did you know that there are moments in your life that God's presence will be felt in the most ordinary of activities?  You can be doing the dishes or driving to work, or eating dinner, or just walking along in the grocery store and the Spirit of the Lord will touch your heart in such a way that demands a recognition of the Spirit's presence.  You might cry.  You might start singing your favorite worship song.  You might whisper a prayer.  You might call a friend.

Greetings!

BlogFam, it is a JOY to be writing to you and in some ways, with you.  I learned many years ago that we do this Christian life in community.  So even though I am the writer of the Salvation and Stilettos blog posts, I do so with a clear understanding that my writing is part of the larger conversation about what it means to be a Jesus follower in this world.  I do not do so in isolation and I do not want to do it that way.  I hope that my writings are considered as part of the great cacophony of Christian communicators that began thousands of years ago and will continue long beyond my own passing away to join the great cloud of witnesses.
