I just finished watching this for the second time and realized I had fallen asleep before you put that “Who are you?” question on the board and woke up when you were saying “…this is all done without medication.” That’s what I get for watching before going to bed!!! One thing in particular gave me pause for thought — when you were talking about how John might be projecting himself onto God rather than him realizing God was trying to project himself on John. I am SO guilty of that. I don’t know why your comment came as such a surprise to me. I was raised in church, for cryin’ out loud, and that should always be the goal. Right? But it hit me different this time. I did hear the difference in the energy in John’s voice, and I liked what you said to him about honoring the lives of those he’d lost rather than worshiping their death. What a loaded comment!
`
By the end of the video I had some specific questions. You told John he was living in such a way that he wasn’t able to grieve and reset. You said the more work we do, the less we get there. I think I have been in that place the whole last two years. Trying to get to the point of being able to grieve the loss of what I perceived my life would be so that I could move on. And I’m asking myself if all the stuff I talked about on the blog (especially with the Sandbox stuff) was getting in the way or even worse was just worthless. When you were talking about why people do things — because things are fun, interesting, and make us feel alive — I realized I don’t feel any of those things with the blog any more. And I’m wondering if it was a useless endeavor. (Sorry, that’s a lot of info!)
Today’s sermon helped me to realise that the reason I didn’t know what my passion was, is simply because I am already living it, just being alive and doing what I do is enough. Lots of respect for you, have a good day.
🙂 that makes me very glad. I am happy you stopped by
