Elusive Bread

An opportunity to share my thoughts, experiences and stories about life, marriage, the church, community, and mission, and to interact with a wider community than my personal journal allows. This elusive bread is that which we long to taste yet struggle to capture or understand (an interesting correlative to a Greek word meaning overcome or understand; to understand is to overcome, and that which can be neither understood nor overcome is elusive; see John 1.) I want to taste this bread.

Is this why we are obsessed with busyness & noise?

When Jesus goes off into the desert toward silence and solitude, that is where he meets the accuser.
So also when we look with God deeply into ourselves: there comes the accuser, and yet there also comes the healer.
Whose word to us will we heed?
