I have decided to start on a new fresh idea, and that is to take you on a journey. This journey is the walk i have been on these past couple of years, and this walk is about me getting to know Jesus.
I hope whoever reads this will be inspired by the words.
Jesus came into my life as a child
But i never really understood why?
I went to Church
I went to Sunday School
I went to Camps
I went to Christian Rocks Concerts
I read the bible
I even said a prayer are two
But i never understood these rituals
To me i thought there has to be more to Jesus
So here is a wee story, im going to try and do these now again in my post, i hope it works out ok.
For me life is like a very uneven path, and this path is taking you through this forest, and in the middle of this forest there is a cabin, and in this cabin there is a fire and this fire is burning logs, and above these logs there is a pot hanging with water boiling in it. Now there is a man sitting beside the fire, on a well worn rocking chair. He asks if you want to stay for a hot mug of coffee. This man is a middle age dude, with a big grey beard and dressed in jeans and a checked shirt. He says for you to sit and rest, he asks for your name. You tell him.
He then asks you another question ,what are you doing out in the forest?
You say "i am on a Journey..."
He then says a Journey to where?
He pause........I dont really know.....you then answer with this.....i believe im on a Journey to become like Jesus and to better understand who Jesus is actually was and to learn what his mission was about.
The man looks at you again, he hands you a coffee.....he says "drink up we have to start walking".

ummm
intresting story
for me to understand Jesus, we gotta to walk as Jesus walked.....
we gotta to walk the stony path
we gotta to find those places of rest
we gotta to stop and chat to those we meet on our Journey

This reminds me of 'The Shack', and also of the Cauldron of Death and Rebirth from the old Celtic legend.is this because you are being, or have been, reborn? Being reborn is a pretty scary and yet exhilarating experience.
I will await with interest your next step on the path.

robert i can't say i would think of you as an emergent. But more of an evangilical Christain after all we are all called to live the Lord, reach out to the lost and strive to be like Jesus
