    243: Unease of Being Green

    I'm posting this on the Friday before a national holiday in the United States, thinking about "casual Friday" vibes. Perhaps a day like this might start with a team-building meeting, where one leader in the organization takes a turn sharing his story with everyone -- or everyone not taking vacation -- with the intent to drive commitment to our values and maybe answer questions from the room.  It's not easy being green.

    Crucifixion (Lent Roll 46)

    "Often, when someone dies, we feel a combination of love and something else, and this, too, is holy. And entirely human. And they don’t cancel each other out. Love and anger. Love and disappointment. Love and emptiness. We always love imperfectly. It is the nature of human love. And it is okay. But despite all the love in the world, when it comes down to it, none of us can know the reality of another." Nadia Bolz-Weber John 19:1-37 (when Jesus had received the wine, he said, “It is finished”) #IC 227: Some Assembly Required, Chapter 5 (7/6/20) #IC 222: Displeasure (1/9/20) Nadia Bolz-Weber - Shameless Nadia Bolz-Weber - Accidental Saints IC_Greg - "Nobody's Child" #IC 195: Telling Your Stories before it's too late (3/17/17)

    Resisting Arrest (Lent Roll 43)

    “Yes, a man is a dangerous thing. So is a scalpel. It can wound or it can save your life. You don't make it safe by making it dull; you put it in the hands of someone who knows what he's doing.” John Eldredge John 18:1-11 (Jesus told Peter to put away his sword, and we should understand that having a weapon does not mandate using it … as opposed to turning the other cheek and leaving fate in God’s hands – the cup the Father has given) #IC 45: Macho Weaknesses (2/3/11) #IC 106: The Violence of Denial (12/1/12) John Eldredge - Wild At Heart John Eldredge - Epic
