I found myself in a retail establishment the other day. A great parking spot had opened up directly in front of the door. Leaving windows and sunroof open (still trying to get used to the heat and humidity in this ‘home away from home’ called Cincinnati) I hurried inside as the cloud cover looked a bit ominous. In fairness, it had been that way all day.
After shopping for only a few minutes, I noticed a man intently scanning the sky. His palm was raised as he tested the atmosphere for the nearly imperceptible mist that had begun to swirl from grey and dismal heavens.
Crowd follower that I can be, I joined a number of patrons deciding it would be in our best interest to investigate as well.
The first guy decided to go back inside. Nothing too threatening was his apparent decision. Four more people followed him inside with similar opinions.
I’m a chicken.
An exploration of what it means to "live in Christ" from the viewpoint of a regular, non-theologian guy just trying to make sense of it all. Maybe it's about being aware. Maybe it's about forgiveness toward others and myself. Maybe it's about love for others - and myself. Maybe it's about trust and putting God first. Maybe it's about all these things - and maybe these things only scratch the surface.
