The More I Read the more it makes me Sick

This is a time of grief and horror for so many of my friends. If I, who cut ties with FBCM as part of my journey years ago am so affected by this-- how much more must they be? I remember once telling Fred just after 9/11 that I wish I had a rocket launcher- I sort of feel that way again today.Anger, rage, deep sadness, and loss. Just like building muscle means breaking it down first, there is an analogy with spiritual growth. Maybe there will come some fruit from all this but it is surely hard to fathom how at this point in time. What men work for evil, God works for good.

Sounds like Terry Sedlacek's lawyer is setting up an insanity plea according to press releases. Sounds like the parents knew he was mentally ill and still allowed him to brandish guns and knives. I've been praying for the Winters family today and pondering the shootings that have been occurring across the country in the past few months. Now we are hearing that Sunday was designated Death Day by the assailant in his day timer. This young man has not only decimated a beautiful family and a man who sought to serve the Lord, he violated a community of people in the body of Christ at Maryville.

Excuse me while I work this out...and I will.

One Unholy Mess

I try and I try but I confess I am one unholy mess At the end of myself, undone Did I hear the Savior say “come”? Come sinner come Come to the holy one Though you’re far away I can hear Jesus say Come home come home come home Over my sin I come to grieve In my unbelief help me believe For this time I was brought low So mercy I could come to know Come sinner come Come to the holy one Though you’re far away You can hear Jesus say Come home come home come home Bridge He will meet you where He finds you But he will not leave you there For His fiery grace refines you And Your burdens He will bear. He says Come sinner come Come to the holy one Though you’re far away You can hear Jesus say Come home come home come home Anthony Foster December 23, 2020

You Are I AM

Bread of Life in you we delight Light of the world you give us sight Door of our entry open wide Good Shepherd be my only guide You are I am, You are I am You are the first and the last Beyond the future and the past Source of reality Our sufficiency All found in you You are faithful and true. The way the truth and the life we’ve found The resurrection and the life abounds In our living vine we will abide To your holiness we flee and hide You are I am, You are I am You are the first and the last Beyond the future and the past Source of reality Our sufficiency All found in you You are faithful and true.
