unwell....

I include this video in part because I enjoy the song. However to spiritualize it, the truth is I am a little unwell, a little off and I am beginning to believe that is ok… After all as Frederick Buechner says, “If the world is sane, then Jesus is mad as a hatter and the last supper is the Mad Tea Party. The world says, Mind your own business, and Jesus says, There is no such thing as your own business. The world says, Follow the wisest course and be a success, and Jesus says, Follow me and be crucified. The world says, Drive carefully-the life you save may be your own-and Jesus says, Whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. The world says, Law and order, and Jesus says, Love. The world says, Get and Jesus says, Give. In terms of the world’s sanity, Jesus is crazy as a coot, and anybodywho thinks he can follow him without being a little crazy too is laboring less under a cross than under a delusion”.
So you see, maybe “unwell” is where it is at, and not just in the sense of being a state of being, but a life journey.

This actually made sense. Its not too often that I can understand and aply let alone relate to something a pastor "rambles" about online. I can't wait to read more however it looks like I won't for a long time.
