Two little alliterative thought homilies for ya today:
Soil, sight and skin—the three needed, and often neglected areas which Christ wants to incarnate more deeply in us: His conversation with ecology, the imagination, and the physical body.
The other teaching I’m working on is about where Wisdom and the prophets tend to hang out: rims, ridges, and rivers. I’m getting very alliterative in my old age; must be my baptist background!. Baptist’s love re-callable application, and repetition-making it easy for people to remember and reproduce. Not a bad thing, though sometimes, a bit oversimplified. Yet it, makes it easier to remember so i can write it on tablets quickly, so others can run with it!
These two teachings i’ve been working on for some time, and they just get more simplified and essential over time. Looking at where God wants to incarnate globally (the conversations already happening and deepening), and looking at those at the edges who are receivers of His Realm. Fun study.
Simplicity is a Kingdom virtue, as a friend recently said to me. Eventually, my life poems will be written in haiku! Until, then I appreciate your patience with my loquaciousness!
