THE ROAD

Monday morning again. I sit here at the computer, cool air drifting through the front door. Daylight making itself known as Streaks of light start to edge the darkness out. Labor day 2010. Oh years where have you gone? I am going to try not to labor today.

I went to hear my son preach yesterday. Of course as with both my children I see and hear them with a Mothers eyes and ears. I think they are both so intelligent, pretty, handsome and all those attributes. But every time I go to hear Jeremy preach I am not sure where these words are coming from. Oh wait a minute I know. From the Holy Spirit.

Jer and I go round and round over Religion, the forms, the laws. We don't always see eye to eye on everything. But when he goes to preach I am always amazed at the strength of his message.

I believe in church. I strongly believe in God. But I think sometimes the Churches get so involved in their strict list of laws that they forget what its all about. And that is salvation. If you believe the Bible then you believe Christ died on the cross just so we might have eternal life. I like that concept and I believe. What I don't believe is that salvation has anything to do with the length of your hair or what you wear.

Jer preached the word yesterday. I looked around me at the audience. Most of them under forty. Many struggling with a new life, laying aside their pasts that have been filled with drugs and alcohol most of their adult life's. I watched my son and knew what his calling probably will be. Thank God for Churches like the Road that open their doors to those struggling to have a new beganing. They wouldn't fit in I'm sure in many of the large prestigious churches. I sat In God's house yesterday morning. Surrounded by smiling faces that love God and have new hope for their life's. And my son preached. Imagine that will you.

I guess I will close this off for today and wander on out of Blogland. May only good things come your way. But for now I'm outta here.
