Swell

I went to the ocean the other day.

Not the soft sand- inside the reef- relaxing ocean, I mean..

the OCEAN.

Ten foot swells thundering against jagged, infinitely textured hard-as-iron coral rock.

I watched, listened, and felt as they crashed ashore hurdling rocks, shells, sand, and whatever else happened along with an unimpressed air.

Then I went home.

I took a shower.

I turned the faucet, adjusted it to the proper temperature (from cold to cool), and when I was done I turned it off. I grabbed my towel, and removed the unwanted excess.





Is this what we make God?

Is your God the OCEAN or the shower?

Can you control Him? Do you know what is in His deepest parts? Are you afraid of Him? Do you completely understand Him? Can you be immersed in Him or like the shower, do you keep Him in one place, in a corner of your house? Do you only go to him when you need a little refreshing? Can you turn Him on and off? Can you adjust Him when He makes you uncomfortable? When you are done with Him, do you brush the evidences of His presence from your life? Is He a little sprinkle on your skin or a crushing, overwhelming force in your life?







Maybe it's time to go swimming
