This is what I should really ask myself when I come across some, uh… less than amiable vibes ;-) Found this in a cute shop at Cannon Beach last weekend.

GRACE: The lavish, opulent, raw, untamed, scandalous blessing of God – unearned, undeserved, illogical, disproportionate – poured out through Christ, over every facet of your life, and the living presence of the Creator God deep inside you, poured out through the Spirit, in a flood of euphoric joy, transcendent peace, and limitless power, to be, and do, and live up to God’s calling on your life.

Forgiveness is accepting the burden somebody has given you while setting them free from any obligation to make amends.

Light that breaks the darkness, showing what true love is. Always full of goodness, You are my passion. You never do me wrong, the meekest man but strong. The most perfect song, You are my passion. My strength in life is I am Yours, my soul delights because I am Yours. Your will on earth is all I’m living for.
Jesus Culture, “You Are My Passion”

…I learned not to invest too much in a relationship before I know how the other person really feels.

Spirit + Freedom

2 Corinthians 3:12-18 (NLT)
**Italics are my own, for emphasis** 

12 Since this new way gives us such confidence, we can be very bold. 13 We are not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so the people of Israel would not see the glory, even though it was destined to fade away. 14 But the people’s minds were hardened, and to this day whenever the old covenant is being read, the same veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the truth. And this veil can be removed only by believing in Christ. 15 Yes, even today when they read Moses’ writings, their hearts are covered with that veil, and they do not understand.

16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.


Waiting to cross the Astoria-Megler Bridge to get back to the Oregon side!
