Free Spirit

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Was Esau hurt when Jacob rejected his offer of friendly relations?

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

1. We enter this sacred place of worship…
2. But wait! You made every place sacred.
1. Oh…
2. We enter this sacred time of worship…
1. But wait! You made every moment sacred.
2. Oh…
All: May we use our time together in this place as a reminder that all of our lives have your blessing, your stamp of goodness, your seal of sacred approval.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“I got saved when my cousin, the famous evangelist John the Baptist, baptized me in the river.”

[Hmm… Nope, He didn’t say that.]

D. Blog: Bunny Parable

The spirit of a person can be likened to a rabbit kept in a cage. No matter how well cared for, this rabbit will seek escape. If it needs to gnaw through wood or wire, it will do so. Once a hole is made, it will go out. Though terrified at the thought of jumping to the ground, the bunny will eventually take the leap. Then, ah, the sheer ecstasy of freedom! Danger? So what! Life is good. Yeah!!
