To Ponder a Point




For today a short entry to ponder; merely a point. It's the period at the end of a sentence, the head of a pin. But it's the head of a pin upon which a whole universe of thought lives, thrives, and swirls.

James B. Nelson writes:

"God's invitations to change our lives seldom come in the gentle wrappings of a nice Hallmark card. More frequently they come in confrontations with our own deformities, assaults from which we recoil and want to run. But it is only when we face them honestly that we recognize the open arms of the wounded Holy One."

See you in church,
VT...

Quote from James B. Nelson's work Thirst: God and the Alcoholic Experience. A book to have, a book to recommend.
