Not enough to explode my soul or disturb my sleep, but just enough to buy a cup of warm milk or a snooze in the sunshine. I don't want enough to love a black man or pick beets with a migrant. I want ecstasy, not transformation. I want the warmth of the womb, not a new birth. I want a pound of the Eternal in a paper sack. I would like to buy $3.00 worth of God, please." <br /><br />When it comes down to it sometimes, I want that plastic Jesus, the one you can pick up at any "Jesus Book Store" next to the WWJD plastic combs....Yikes! you know the Jesus, the one with the white and blue robe, the pretty face, the one I can carry around with me, and keep tied up with a rubber band in a paper sack.... too many times I still want $3 bucks worth of the almighty.... <br /><br />I have a "Talk" given to Navigator leadership by a friend of mine, I want to send to you via Email.... I think you will really enjoy and bask in the goodness of this little chat with the Nav leadership... I will send that next. blanoRiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13805510456021154388noreply@blogger.com
