Bu...I've been uncomfortable with Easter myself. But not in the way that the Beakerfolk describe it. Mythical isn't the key word, Redemption is. <br /><br />Because when I was an unredeemed agnostic and potential atheist I held a grudging respect for those people who had the courage and faith to actually believe the resurrection story, while resting my head on the pillow of doubt - which was quite a hard pillow, full of stones and probably throwing eggs for all that I knew at the time.<br /><br />But one day, revelation came near, and the Kingdom of God, which happened to be passing by, whispered into my ear - I'm here, I'm real, let me in and find out for yourself.<br /><br />Now, hearing voices whispering in your ear, might be the stuff of men in white coats coming to fetch you - but in the reality that I was in, it was a real experience of God taking time off from ruling the world and speaking to those who believe and celebrating with them, to look around for a waif and stray, who was vulnerable and under severe strain, and was probably receptive to help, wherever it came from.<br /><br />His timing was good and I received. That reception has led me down some strange pathways and has given to many opportunities which include Easter Egg hunts around a wet church yard on occasion.<br /><br />And I been convicted!! Convicted in the sense of being convinced that God is real, that Jesus is real and was real, died, rose again, ascended and will come again. He along with his dad and their spirit have worked their Holy Magic in my life and I have nothing but thanks and praise for them.<br /><br />So, you cynical beakerfolk's - put that in your flower power pipe and smoke it.UKViewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114944341930758335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795284845836270713.post-72409014817868137322015-04-06T13:28:53.350+01:002015-04-06T13:28:53.350+01:00They are a soppy lot, these half-hearted pantheist...They are a soppy lot, these half-hearted pantheists. Whinging about fire-extinguishers at Lughnasa, Arguing that bog bodies went out with Vatican 2, and phoning the RSPCA if you even look funny at the sacrificial goat.Jadishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15574649057747694825noreply@blogger.com
