THE UNEXPECTED ADVENTURE




Just think how exciting it must have been for the disciples when Jesus turned the water into wine. They had started out on this adventure not knowing Jesus, not knowing where they were going, not knowing what their mission was. If they were as human as the rest of us a miracle would have stirred up excitment and faith in their hearts. Jesus wants to bring joy into our lives! Nothing but the best of wines for those who are celebrating.

They had sacrificed jobs and homes risking all to follow Jesus. What an absolutely daring way to begin!
Positive emotions do give you energy!

Faith challenges us to take risks and see religion as more than a set of rules but a call to adventure. A on going adventure. For some it has been a lonely path but most of us are called into community to find spirituality and growth.

We enjoyed a visit with Rick and Carol this morning and it did dad a world of good. We did miss church again but will be at Bible study on Wed. I believe that is where we laugh together and just enjoy each other and end with praying together.
I am sorta wandering around this afternoon not really feeling like doing much. I have taken some pictures but am not too happy with my pictures.
Was Jesus a revolutionary? Can he bring joy into empty lives and hearts today?
