Dangerous Wonder

@ 12:56 PM (14 months, 23 days ago)

"Take Suprise out of faith and all that is left is dry and dead religion. Take away mystery from the gospel and all that is left is a frozen and petrified dogma. Lose your awe of God and you are left with an impotent deity. Abandon astonishment and you are left with meaningless piety. When religion is characterized by sameness, when faith is franchised, when the genuineness of our experience with God is evaluated by its similarities to other's faith, then the uniquness of God's people is dead and the church is lost."

Burning Down Neverland

The other day I was driving down the highway, towards Kelsey's house to pick her up.As I was passing a stretch of land where sea kissed sand, the sun began to peak above the horizan line. A wonderful parade of colors took place. The day was cold. A type of cold that causes your bones to vibrate within your skin. I love that kind of cold. It felt new.

It felt like freedom.

Dark clouds took the sky by storm, causing splotches of navy to appear against a backdrop of coral orange and fiery red. It was... beautiful. As I was paused at a prolonged stop light, my breath unexplainably became sharper. Every intake of oxygen was shorter and quick. I took one last long glane into the vast seeming ocean, and for a moment, I felt like Peter Pan.

lame? yeah. I know. But, wow.
