it's a new day

We've been visiting different religious centers for our Urban Religious Movements class and we're facing the reality that we, as Christians, hold more in common with many other religions then we think. And that not all the theology and methodology is crazy.

So we're asking hard questions about what that means for us, and where that leaves us.

And i don't have better answers to those questions than anyone else, but i do know that when were in the Hindu temple and one of the teachers dropped the name "Jesus" my heart leapt within me. Honestly, it took me by surprise. I was overtaken with the mention of my love.

My spirit recognizes the one that made it joyfully and calls back. So i don't know what conclusions we will come to, but i will claim this as my home and my reality.

I am in Love, and out of it I will not go. - C. S. Lewis

May i blush every time His name is spoken, may it remind me whom i love and to whom i belong.
