Making a Comeback

It's been a little bit of time, but I think my heels are getting sore from standing back on them.
Heels were made for kicking thing that get in your way.

There were times in days gone by that I would get so filled with some type of 'righteous indignation' that I would follow Jesus' lead to fashion a whip and make my way to the market. I've since been complacent, perhaps even faking sabbatical (at times) for apathy to cover a wound that I never new was there; a wound whose depth I had not realized.

I say the wound has been dealt by my church, and that wholly is true. Also true is that the church is a representation of an ideal, and the question I'm asking is '...how far have we come from that ideal?'. A church body is made up of people, and people miss points, fall short, act ignorantly and selfishly, and every other thing that came out of Pandora's box.

What is more significantly but also wholly true is that Christ loves the church, and I am a part of that body, and I need to get back in the game; not for special recognition, applause or mere duty, but because I see a trend that doesn't contradicts my understanding of what a fellowship needs to be. We need a fresh start at this church thing.

O Father of Christ.
If strength by Your mercy and grace were ever needed
It's now.
