Maybe it is you?
For an unspecified amount of time I have had a homework assignment I cannot complete.
How could you transmit the story of God becoming a man and living among humans to die for our ordinary and terrible actions, our helplessness and death? Then triumphing over death and rising again to rescue us and give us a home forever in a safe and wonderful place?
How would you do that in pictures? Without a common language? How would you send that message out to people far away who did not know you, have a common language and who had never heard about Jesus?
Whose name means
God saves.
Schellenberg Hiddenness
Yesterday I wrote a sincere, non-resistant, genuine email to John “JL” Schellenberg about his long-held but fallacy-ridden philosophy that a group of fictional people refute the existence of God. I made it simple, personal, and I referred to my own experience and Sesame Street.
No answer.
I am experiencing Schellenberg Hiddenness.
I am pretty bummed. So much so that I will have to consign my thoughts to the philosophical non-existence of a benevolent, interventionist Schellenberg to a part 2 post.
If you can get him to respond or have evidence he is there, please let me know ASAP!!!

Love Letters
When I was in college I loved a boy who was very lovable but just wanted to be friends.
I wrote him a letter about elephants which seemed engaging at the time because I was so young, but now seems to have been cribbed from the movie Green Card.
Oh well, so much for originality.
Now that I am older, I have original stories, but the Boy-i-love calls stars into being and sees into my soul, what is the point of words and letters?
What can I possibly say that he doesn’t already…know…
(Psalm 139:3-4 KJV
[3] Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. [4] For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.)
(This screenshot I have of a child I want to raise) I would tell him that I am lost without him
I would tell him I will keep calling the number to get her to me
I will tell him I cannot stop looking for him
Like David in Ps 139, like the Shula…Shuna…mite woman
Here is my most interesting thing—I constantly long to see you
Face-to-face at last
Song of Songs 3:2-3 KJV
[2] I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. [3] The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
What is the most interesting thing…
You could say to Jesus?

So much good information in this article!
The 7 “I Am”s
Bread! Light! Door! Good..Shepherd! Resurrection and the Life!
The Way…the Truth…the Life!!
The Vine!
The bread, the light…the…door! Shepherd! Resurrection and life! Way-truth-life-
Vine.
Once there was a loaf of bread in a lighted room where the door opened and a shepherd walked in
He said
I am the resurrection life
Way truth life
Vine
He is the bread of life
He is the light of the world
He is the door of the sheep
He is the good shepherd
He is the resurrection and the life
The way the truth the life
The true vine
Remember…
Girl, remember
What it means to be “finished”
The day men ringed around the young man
Who had just finished a longish sermon
And crushed him to death
Rock by rock
Man by man
His King had already made his own mysterious pronouncement—
It is finished
The anger flows through my veins, the helplessness of ordinary losses
Nothing like a martyr’s death
And yet in both cases the mysterious sentence hangs over the grief, anger, loss and unanswered questions
It is finished
Until the sky opens wide for each of us in relief or judgment
Hope your name will be changed
Pray your sins will be forgiven
And you will know how
To define both “finished” and “rock”
In his Word,
Ours are not enough
Psalm 22:29-31 KJV
[29] All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul. [30] A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. [31] They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
