'mr. moody...mr. moody, are you filled with the Spirit?' ....why yes, but i leak...'
-story about d.l. moody
i was just schooled in a leonard cohen verse that says something like this: 'everything has a crack in it...that's how the light gets in.'
i say 'well put indeed.' what? like i'm gonna argue about leonard cohen's songwriting?....giggle....
i am thinking that the cracks are also how the light and the renewing water gets out too?....
i went to meeting tonight....the room smelled like a musty humidor...i was one of two guys there...the rest, well, ladies....
my observation? chunks of authenticity and wisdom were dropping all over the place...my notebook was my satchel...
Seeping out...flooding in...pouring out...streaming in...ahhhhhhh, to be reminded of being Full but not filled.
ReplyDeletePiercingly good. Ouch. :)
I needed that...thank you!
Hey Todd.. good observations. You to Jenny. I would say if there are no cracks.. there is no growing. Blogging seems to be a method of the out pouring. Reading wisdom is the streaming in. Good stuff! I may have to use this in my next homily.
