Christ and I love you.
Christ and I love all people.
We have two internal tracks to focus on and favor. One is the fountain of living water that is welling up in us (John 4) like a sparkling glistening tinkling fountain and our overall body, mind, and soul that each day is opening, unfurling, and growing along with and connected to the net positive and gorgeous phenomenal Creation. Or we can pick the collection of sideways actions and decisions and tendencies and occurrences and fold up in fear, isolation, despondency, and despair. God wants us to favor the former and evil wants us to focus on the latter. I’d rather surf around and ride the wave of the Light, Love, and Joy of Jesus, God, and Holy Spirit and seek to be ever opening and flourishing OnVine with Christ and to seek to foster this flourishing in others.
Another thing that has come to me recently is that after hearing The Word of God and daily reading The Word of God for a long time now, I don’t worry so much about trying to get down on paper or say all the totally right exact words in general and think of all of The Word of God as a positive word soup. As I am listening to the Mass, oftentimes in addition to the words being shared from the altar, I am having come to mind other fun sparkling snippets from The Word of God. Instead of trying to screen them out I have come to enjoy listening to that coming to me and being spoken to me at the same time as kind of a positive word soup. It makes me think of Psalm 119:130: As your word unfolds, it gives light,and the simple understand.
I love you and so does Jesus, God, and Holy Spirit along with Mother Mary, Saint Joseph, Saint Anthony, Saint Joan, Saint Therese Lisieux, and Saint Augustine along with your guardian angel, and all the Holy Angels, and all the Holy Saints.
