Come

An interesting story of a customer's faith.

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects.
When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things. What's the point?"
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.
Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.
The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers do exist!" answered the barber. "What happens is people do not come to me."
"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point!" 

Prayer

Lord,
You are our Father.
We are the clay,
You are the potter.
We are all the work
Of your hands.

Father,
Into your hands, we
Surrender our spirits,
Heal our hearts,
Mold our minds,
Shape our souls.
Amen.

No Need

The Potter Knows the Clay

I know you are going through the fire
It’s getting hard to stand the heat
But even harder is the wondering
Is God’s hand still on me
It’s lonely in the flames
When you’re counting days of pain

But the Potter knows the clay
How much pressure it can take
How many times around the wheel
’Til there’s submission to His will
He’s planned a beautiful design
But it’ll take some fire and time
It’s gonna be okay
’Cause the Potter knows the clay

Friend I just came through that fire
Not too very long ago
And looking back I can see why
And that my God was in control
But on the hottest days I’d cry
Oh Lord, isn’t it about time

But the Potter knows the clay
How much pressure it can take
How many times around the wheel
’Til there’s submission to His will
He’s planned a beautiful design
But it’ll take some fire and time
It’s gonna be okay
’Cause the Potter knows the clay

Artist: The Perrys 

Here I am! Me voilà! Ecco mi! Da bin ich! 

Yet you, Lord, are our Father. 

We are the clay, You are the potter. 

We are all the work of Your hand. 

(Isaiah 64:8)

A Language Mystery

Now very early in the morning,
The Lord came again into the temple,
and all the people came to Him.
He sat down, and taught them.
The scribes and the Pharisees
brought a woman taken in adultery.
Having set her in the midst,
they told Him,
“Teacher, we found this woman in adultery,
in the very act.
Now in our law,
Moses commanded us to stone such.
What then do You say about her?”
They said this testing Him,
that they might have something to accuse Him of.
But The Lord stooped down,
and wrote on the ground with His finger.
(John 8:6)
[First part of the only recorded instance of The Lord writing.] 
But when they continued asking Him,
He looked up and said to them,
“He who is without sin among you,
let him throw the first stone at her.”
Again He stooped down,
and with His finger wrote on the ground.
(John 8:8)
[Second part of the only recorded instance of The Lord writing.] 
They, when they heard it,
being convicted by their conscience,
went out one by one,
beginning from the oldest,
even to the last.
The Lord was left alone with the woman
where she was, in the middle.
The Lord, standing up, saw her and said,
“Woman, where are your accusers?
Did no one condemn you?”
She said, “No one, Lord.”
The Lord said,
“Neither do I condemn you.
Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”


I love reading the Bible because I love the language of the Bible.
I also love reading about the great heroes from the stories of the Bible.
Here, the greatest hero wrote. He wrote. 
What He wrote I know not.
He used His finger and the ground to write.

Did He write a Question?
"Where is the man or is he above your law?"
Did He continue writing an Answer?
"The same law forgot the man and thus forgave him."
What He wrote we know not.

St. John knew and wrote not.
Interestingly, some writings do not include the entire narrative mentioned above.
So what on earth did He write?
The Lord wrote that which cannot be described in words...
Inexpressible, ineffable words!

When my eyes are worn,
And my heart is torn;
When Anger comes to rescue Love
Lord, it's difficult being a dove.
But Your Sabbath's here,
My Rest ... You know!
These twenty-four hours
Prayeth ... Ye Your Grace bestow.

Heaven of Freedom

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by Thee into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

- Rabindranath Tagore
