good stuff, yeah?
in honors today we talked of learning as discipleship. we read the story of zaccheus and i taught what i learned at convention; seeing salvation as healing. we gathered together and learned in an anabaptist way - community. we spoke of lifelines and lanterns. we ate together. breakfast of waffles with chocolate chips is a sort of communion. and in the back of my mind i am meditating on the poetry of Wendell Berry -
So, friends, every day do something
that won't compute. Love the Lord.
Love the world. Work for nothing.
Take all that you have and be poor.
Love someone who does not deserve it....
Ask the questions that have no answers.
Invest in the millenium. Plant sequoias....
Expect the end of the world. Laugh.
Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful
though you have considered all the facts....
Be like the fox
who makes more tracks than necessary,
some in the wrong direction.
Practice resurrection.
