...man in the parking lot...

(cont from facebook)...and as he walked on i found myself wondering if jesus was kinda like that...just making everybody feel better about life when he walked by...just oozing love and peace and contentment and grace...his heart spillin' out all over everyone he met...

...for the most part, people like that make us feel valued...they make us feel happy...they ease a burden deep within us, that sometimes we don't even know we're luggin' around 'til someone that free comes along and shows us what it really means to live free...

...i think for some people, it makes them uncomfortable...mad, even...cause when you are not free and you're resigned to rattle those chains...you've given up and crawled into a dark corner and pulled the shadows close like a blanket...scared of freedom...scared of happiness...cause it's been so unknown...

...wherever you are in it...i hope you'll think about the man i saw in the parking lot...and i hope, like me, you will determine to be a little more like him...and for me, i think about the jesus i know who was just love...right there, living, breathing, walking around love...not religion...not "church"...LOVE in the flesh...and i hope i can be more like him, too...

...sending a huge hug and lots of love...thanks for reading...
