Simple Thoughts. . .
of unending beauty.
As of late I find in myself this irresistable thought of the divine. I find myself wondering about the things that astonished men and women of old and those things that astonish us today. Are they the same? Do we marvel at things that are in fact not all that marvelous? I think that we do, at least I should say I do. I mean i can watch a new movie and if they do a good job with special effects I sit there in awe and will probably talk about for a week. But then it fades and I look for the next extravagant thing. I find within myslef though a lack, a void that is not filled, an insatiable desire to be dumbfounded. As of yet there have only been a handful or less of times that this has been the case. I read Ezekiel 1-3 and stop at 3:11 and say to myself I want that. What would it look like to be so awestruck with the God that you couldnt talk for 7 days. I think that this in part will be the journey that this webcast shall endeavor to embark on.

It is true! Our souls hunger for the supernatural. God made us that way! Only the awesome True God can satisfy this craving. The other substitutes that the world offers (drugs, extreme sports, the occult) leave us wanting more (and often send us down the pathway to death and destruction, not life). The miracle of Jesus is that He freely offers us the supernatural relationship we desire and need more than anything! God’s presence is really with us at all times and all we have to do to connect with the incredible Creator of the Universe is say “I want to be with You.” This truly is a miracle! Maybe we should all spend seven days sitting and realizing that God Himself loves us as intimately as our best friend (and more). After 20 years knowing Him I’m still coming to understand this mystery.
