Happiness is not a matter of intensity
but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.

Blogging Towards Sunday: Love and Fear


Sunday was a good day, as we celebrated the transfer of Heather's ordination. The metaphor for the day was salt. Deb Jahnke did an incredible job ofmaking the shadow box fit the theme.
This coming Sunday we are going to look at Love....how about that for an original topic. In 1 John 4:18 it says, "There is no fear in Love. Perfect love casts out all fear." We live in a culture that seems to thrive on fear. I have a child in South Korea. Not long ago the American media was conjecturing that we were about to witness WWIII, beginning with a war between North and South Korea. Every time I talked to our son in S. Korea he was oblivious of the events our media was reporting. In the United States, fear sells.

Of what are you afraid? How does it make loving difficult?
