Is it just me, or do we see Jesus deflecting from the political atmosphere of his time? โฃ
It saddens me to say that I’ve seen people who participated in that very same event that I participated in, 25 years ago, pass judgment on people who are simply speaking up for their right to breathe.
As we traveled back home, I couldnโt help but be grateful. A few years back, I wouldnโt have imagined that we would have made it to see our 15th anniversary. We both were broken, hurting, discouraged, and drifting apart. Nevertheless, Jesus had other plans for us.
At that time, I was absolutely clueless of the crime that I had committed. Nevertheless, the choir directorโs contorted face resounded of disappointmentโฆ. With nowhere to run, I braced myself for the inevitable. I was in for the lecture of a lifetime.
My adventures in cyberspace have led to some amazing connections. This past year, I had the privilege of meeting a fellow life coach and soul-sister, Jena Harris. Recently she gave me the honor being her guest on her Soulfood Sundays podcast.
Although I am already an avid fan of acoustic sets, I find myself in a deeper level of musical euphoria when gospocentric stories of grace are linked into the melody. This describes my exact experience when I recently heard Mark Bowenโs (of Isla Vista Worship) live performance of their new single, โCaptured.โ
My initial reaction was nauseaโฆ then the nausea was followed by deep sorrowโฆ. My heart hurt for this young man. Iโm almost sure that he was completely blind-sighted by the backlash caused by his shirt. Iโm positive that all he wanted to do was share the gospel. Instead, he was tar and feathered by two bitter crows.
