I
am sad to say this God, Jesus the carpenter, who came to reveal and teach us, was
not the God of my youth. It has taken
many, many journeys into the unacceptable to meet this God of radical
acceptance. I have been converted many
times and the conversion continues into this present moment. This Lent let us journey into our given
humanity, and discover the mysterious workings of grace, when we are honest,
and honest is essential for conversion. When we are gut honest, we are led to
the discovery, and gradual acceptance of the reality, we all have spiritual
GARBAGE. The disposal of garbage is one
the great challenges of our present time.
So much of our planetary home is negatively affected by the garbage
created by us the inhabitants of Mother Earth.
We have not taken good care, we have not been responsible, now we are
paying the price. You do not go shopping
for garbage, but given time that which you brought into your home part of it
enters the garbage disposal or take it to the curb where its destiny is the
recycling process. Each Lent we are
given, again and again, the opportunity to grow in honesty as regard to how we
deal with our spiritual garbage.
