The mind being renewed

I started reading the book irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne. Man oh Man I really enjoy that book. It seems that so many of his ideas are things that have been dreams of mine, but I thought they were too outrageous to actually accomplish. He speaks so much about community and our call as Christians to take care of everyone as if they were Jesus themselves.

Today I was at my garden and it was the first time I picture Leigh (the older lady that smokes a lot of pot) as if she was Jesus. Wow it made me want to do anything to make her feel good, take away her hunger, and really show her the love of God. It was awesome!

He also writes a lot about mother Teresa. I NEEEED to read some of her writings.

Here is a clip of what he writes

"I truly believe that when the poor meet the rich, riches will have no meaning. And when the rich meet the poor, we will see poverty come to an end."

"Few people are interested in a religion that has nothing to say to the world and offers them only life after death, when what people are really wondering is whether there is life before death."

"And the kingdom that Jesus speaks so much about is not just something we hope for after we die but is something we are to incarnate now"


I suppose that's enough for tonight

PEACE,
