| Introduction | Picking up a cross and following Jesus means going to the place of shame, pain, and despair in your community and bearing God's image there. It likely involves humiliation, patience, and suffering. These things are powerful when they reveal God to his creation. Mountains bow down, valleys stand up, crooked places straighten out and make a highway in the wilderness for our God. I am learning and growing and striving to live like this stuff matters. I hope my life (and this blog) play a prophetic part in his apocalypse. |
