I'm watching a great fire burn in the fireplace while Joy is studying her Speech Therapy. And Jamie is taking it easy on the couch while Crosby, Stills , Nash, and Young play on the machine.
In me roars another great fire. It is the fire to be real and faithful to who God has made me to be as well as to the call upon my life. This call is to follow the resurrected rabbi and make a difference in the Story of humankind and the Story of God.
Where does that fire come from? There are so many who are motivated to make a difference...driven by the heat and passion that burns within. ...like the politicians who are putting everything on the line this next Tuesday. I believe that fire comes from God...from the original Source....from the Spark that started it all....and that has called and urged people throughout history to explore, invent, create, dream, protest, and desire to leave this world in a better way than they found it.
How does it burn in you?
You know it is fashionable for folks including us to constantly talk about how the world is getting worse and worse. Well, I don't believe it! This year both a black man and a woman are running for President. Not so long ago, neither of them could have even voted. And that's because the Fire of hope and progress continues to spread form heart to heart and a hidden Wind fans the flames and invites us to place one more piece of the beautiful puzzle in its place.
Well, I need to get up and shift the wood around a little so that the fire will continue to burn well.
