Transformations
 
It seems to me that God is about Big-Bang changes, transformations even beyond an explosive chain reaction of massive proportions.
 
Picture Saul blinded by the light in a life-changing instant on the road to Damascus; or the violently mad “Legion” (tearing off his clothes and insanely roaming among the tombs) brought to immediate peace by a word from Jesus; or the self-destructive drug addict or alcoholic inspired to get clean and sober and help others reclaim their souls; or the countless individuals who finally “get it,” accept the gift of grace and faith in their lives and recognize that there is only one road worth traveling … and that is God’s way.
 
The point:  If there is one thing I’ve learned in this world, it is that God transforms, making the impossible possible.  Give Him your impossible, hopeless, lost problem.  And then step back, rejoice, and enjoy the quiet, transforming miracles that unfold.  Bang!  — jri
 
“When they came to Jesus, they found the man
from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at
Jesus’ feet, dressed and in his right mind; and
they were afraid.”
