Today, we traveled to see my mother’s house and the Texas weather would never even hint in the lush greens, gentle sunlight and wonderful breeze - that Texas ‘evah knew a drouuught. We will see family and a long time friend.
My laptop is resting comfortably at home. Edward has had a golden set of weeks. All he touches is blessed. He had played #3 in his age group, worldwide, and won. Won three tournaments and, and, yes, made 2 Aces. Spoken to family across the continent. His business hours are happy. And Edward is filled with contentment.
The Wind of the Spirit is blowing.
John 3:8
The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.
Jesus Christ is really the way, truth and Life. Life is about sorting out the imperfect - taking meaning - leaving other meaning to become compost. And upon the compost putting our solid and enduring Truth of Jesus to build a life of meaning.
We can all have our lives relate to the real way life works. We have a sunny day - top down. Favorite Song on the radio - spending time with those we love. An endless sunshine day.
Enter the Iggy Story into your day. My brother has a life long friend, Bob, who by coincidence and accident of God, turned out to be his 5 year elementary school friend - by accident, like I said - turned out to be our Dallas across the alley - we moved both moved one summer and - Oh My God Almighty - I am your across the alley neighbor...

And on with the Iggy Pop Story. Your day is perfect, the fans love you, all is sunshine.
Bob was waiting to meet Iggy with the rest of the diehards. Bob had a shirt or an album for Iggy to sign. Iggy arrives. And standing next to Iggy, is a beautiful young girl waiting with an album to sign. And the beautiful, young girl has been talking to Bob, who just enjoyed meeting her and waiting for Iggy. Bob said it was friendly, comrades. And Iggy, who is 25-35 years older, decides he is going to mesh tonsils with this young woman.
Bob said looking back on it, it was as if all the mothers in the world had converged upon his voice and tone and inflection.
"Oh. OH. NO. Oh Honey. NO. ">". NOT IGGY. NO, OH, HONEY NO. YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE IGGY HAS BEEN. OH HONEY NOT IGGY'S MOUTH. OH NO!!!"
The gathered Crowd saw how sincere Bob was and they Roared. The crowd fully understood what Bob was saying. And they applauded. Asked Bob's name and chanted, "Bob. BOB. BOB."
Famous, famous Iggy was - less than pleased. The girl broke off the tonsil sling and sincerely, as if for the first time - Looked at Iggy. With less than joy. Iggy quickly departed. Then the crowd said, quietly, "Poor Iggy."
True Story. I know Bob. Bob is a friend of mine. Bob said he had a range of allllll kind of emotions getting in his car to ride home and think about this forever. To this day, Bob says, he is "conflicted" over the situation. We think, probably, it wasn't Iggy's best day either.

One of the thoughts that pour into my thoughts regularly is the whole of God’s Church confronting massive social and entertainment teaching us comfort, conduct, and values. The loss in this century of Church goers departing for comfort of their own Book of Judges, chaos, when “All Decided for Themselves.”
My comforts include: the ebb that encourages renewal.
The Plague recoveries include a love for Jesus Christ, Father and Holy Spirit. And, newly, Queen Elizabeth reworking the governing body of the Church of England, before her sky filled, double rainbow, passing victorious into His Kingdom. 183 countries, Scripture believing, will guide the 100 million congregants in their blossoming Church Family. Saint Elizabeth II of England!
Jesus calls Himself Living Water. Water will find an incredible path as God the Almighty desires.
We can certainly participate and play a vital role in the Church Jesus died for. We will let Jesus be God Almighty and not find reasons to find discord. Jesus washes all things new, reborn. We call this, His Banner Over Me Is Love. The truth is, the message is for all of us. And when it does not apply, we gladly let the Word of God be Peaceful in our heart. We build up the Body of Christ by Love, Joy and Peace.
Abba, Father,
We ask You to fill the world
With the Joy of Jesus Christ’s Holy Spirit.
We ask You to Dwell in us!
Dwell Forever in our Loved Ones.
Help us in Your Grace and Mercy.
Enable us and embolden us to Seek You First.
And in Jesus Christ, we will finish well.
Your Glory, Lord!
Your Glory!
Amen in Jesus
Alleluia
