Earlier in my life and theological studies I learned that the Orthodox church and the Catholic Church once argued over who came first Jesus or the Holy Spirt . Was it God the Father and the Son or God the father and the Son and the Holy.
Pastor Jack didn’t discus that today. He spoke of Jesus and love and freedom from addiction. He spoke of the power of prayer and love of family. It was all moving. Reminded me of spiritual meetings we had on the beach in Saipan when I worked on the Mariana Islands. That was the Pacific Sea. Here we were looking out over the Salton Sea.
I’d thought as I’d ridden on my Vespa through Bombay Beach to the beach, that I liked this abandoned town that was slowly resurrection. . The old destroyed house juxtaposed with the new. It felt like my inner conscious where trauma had left wreckage but thanks to the spirit order and wellness were pooking up like sprouts from the soil. For whatever reason that was my thought this morning especially ans Pastor Jack talked anbout it his old self and the new self since he became a Christian. . I thiought back to the dreams I had in the 70’s before divorces and the rebirth of a kind. . I’m thankful today for the life I’ve lead. I’m thankful for the renewal of faith that occurred after the destruction.
In the Donovan song, “looking through Chrystal spectacles ] he sang’ the doctor bit was so far out.’ I’ve loved being a physician. I’ve loved the healing and the knowledge and service. I continue with this. I’ve liked the travel too, the different vehicles, the libraries and learning, the concernts and the songs. I’ve loved the music. I’ve loved the writing. I’ve loved studying the Bible and spiritual learning. I’ve loved prayer and meditations.
I’m blessed today and grateful. Thank you Jesus≥
