A Christian?  You Bet!
 
Several months ago, as part of a Cursillo training weekend, I awoke early in a church basement filled with perhaps two dozen others and wandered to the kitchen for coffee.  Over the next hour, a handful of men collected there, and in the quiet of the morning, we spoke of God and faith and blessings and challenges and grace.  It was a wondrous, gentle, spiritual time. 
 
What made this especially special is that I grew up in a world where God was kept in a small box that we opened on Sunday mornings and Christmas and closed on our way out of the parking lot after church.  The only ones who ever talked about God were priests, nuns and a few nut cases.
 
My point:  God is not a private possession we keep to ourselves, whether out of fear or indifference.  I have come to believe that He is something we can and should (and must?) share.  No, that does not mean becoming a Jesus freak nut case, but I think it does mean making sure that others know we are men and women of faith and that, yes, we do take it seriously. — jri
 
“Whoever acknowledges me before men,
I will also acknowledge him before my
Father in heaven.”
        –    Jesus Christ
               (Matthew 10:32)
 
Please pray for all who seek to heal that vague, unsettled ache in their lives, that they may be blessed with the gift of faith.  God bless.
