How Does Your Garden Grow? (Cultivating An Inner Life)
Okay, so please do
not
read the scripture text before you come on Sunday.
Yes, I am saying
do not go get your bibles and open them to The Revelation of Jesus Christ to John.
You see, there is a long history of reading this book badly, and I would really like us to read it together, to tease out the metaphors, to gnaw on the bones of the text and find the life-giving marrow in the Word of God within the words about God on the page.
This week we will be talking about cultivating our inner spaces: about self-awareness and a sense of our own spiritual vitality. It is Lent: time to clean out the inner closets, time to break up the frozen soil so that it is ready for planting, time to probe the depths of the seas inside us and discover the monsters lurking there.
See, metaphors abound.
If you want homework, (remember, do not read the bible verses), here is a question for you to ponder:
If you were a bottle of wine, what your label read?
Join us on Sunday. Our community is richer, our flavors more complex and satisfying, when you are here.
Yours in the Spirit,
Katie
