OIP-42

As a creature of habit, I drink my coffee at home out of one of two different cups.  Early in the morning during the week I use my Starbucks stainless steel mug with the snap-on lid and black handle. It has an air chamber built into it that keeps the coffee hot almost as well as a thermos would. It’s dented in a couple places from the numbers of times it has been dropped and the black handle is beginning to get a little sticky from going through the dishwasher almost every day for at least three years. I am resolved, however, to keeping this mug in service and will not easily part with something that has become, in essence, an addition to my hand.

Younger is more fun

IMG_1219

It’s the morning after. The only sign that 3,000 people invaded our little street last night are the candy wrappers littering the street, the sticky spider webs still stretched over the bushes and trees, and the inflatable ghouls and dragons that towered over us last night now lying in heaps on the ground. Fortunately the city will send a street cleaner to sweep up the litter; everything else is up to individual homeowners to tackle.

Unmasked

OIP-41

All Hallow’s Eve, a day originally set aside to honor the dead martyrs, is now a day when masquerading is the norm. The buzz among the kids is, “What are you going to be on Halloween” — the key element being that you get to be someone or something that you’re not and its okay. You can be anything you want.

Old too soon

Too Soon Old

Good and bad, I define these terms quite clear, no doubt, somehow,

Ah but I was so much older then;

I’m younger than that now.

Marti’s back pages

boy-reading-book

by Marti Fischer

This appeal is a call for a transformative and much-needed change in the lives of those who have been deeply impacted by the Jesus Movement and its profound message of renewal and grace.

Before embracing the Lord in my mid-twenties, I was a self-assured and prideful young woman, firmly rooted in my own convictions of right and wrong. However, when I encountered the boundless mercy of the Lord, my perspective shifted dramatically. The world was no longer a realm of absolutes; instead, it became a landscape painted in shades of gray, with elusive answers.

Writing our own obituary

Writing our own obituary

What if we were to write our own obituary? And what if we were to think of ourselves as we wrote this, not as the older person we were, but as the younger person we are, (“I’m younger than that now”)? What would we say? What would our younger self say about us in our own obituary column?

When ‘who you were’ is too old

shutterstock_384850015

We all have the tendency to want to define ourselves by the past. Our past successes are in the can. They are bankable. But it’s no good, because they are just that: they are past and gone. Few remember. Who you are is not who you were.

Touch someone near you

oip-30-1

Touch someone near you in love if you can.

This is probably the most memorable part of this Jesus Movement song. It pretty quickly developed a penchant for touching people all around you while singing this line. Many of the youth groups that used this song turned this into a game. Each time the chorus approached the leader would call out a number and that was how many people you had to touch around you as you sang this line. Of course, each time the number would grow bigger until the last time he would shout out something like “23!” and sheer bedlam would ensue. Now maybe this is not exactly touching someone “in love,” but it sure did loosen up a group. Suddenly shoulders were no longer stiff, and people were hugging and chatting by the end of the song. It truly did do magic on a crowd and it recaptured the perspective rooted in love, togetherness and inclusivity. Besides, we need to be more playful and not take ourselves so seriously.

How do I know?

Too many teachers and not enough truth

Too many preachers and not enough proof

You’ve got to find it; you’ve got to find it yourself

None of these people can give you any help

                     – from the song, “Too Many Teachers” by John Fischer

My wife, Marti, was saved during the dawn of the Jesus Movement through the library of a Christian man she was dating. I say she was saved through his library, because at the time he was playing hooky from his faith, but his library was not. It was a copy of Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis she found there that got her started, and later, alone and sensing a visitation of the presence of God through the Holy Spirit in her bed at night, she gave her life to Christ.
