Creating, collecting, and sharing thoughts and ideas. And learning along the way.
The crux of my faith.
“We look at this Son and see the God who cannot be seen. We look at this Son and see God’s original purpose in everything created. For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels — everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment. And when it comes to the church, he organizes and holds it together, like a head does a body.”
Christ is the author and finisher of our faith, that is the very bottom line. There’s no two-ways about it; there’s no politically-correct way to present it. It is a fundamental fact and truth central to the believer and to the church.Â
Winter
By BILLY COLLINS
A little heat in the iron radiator,
the dog breathing at the foot of the bed,
and the windows shut tight,
encrusted with hexagons of frost.
I can barely hear the geese
complaining in the vast sky,
flying over the living and the dead,
schools and prisons, and the whitened fields.
They still have the Christmas tree lights on!
