So Be It

I have been scribbling elsewhere these days.  On 5 hour calls, 26.2-mile texts, Untitled, Gold, Persians, Elves.

Subsisting on Ketchup, Srirancha, Kimcheese, Syrup, Spaghetti. Because bread alone is not enough.

How many people do you meet in a lifetime, who compel your whole self, soul and mind and strength? I think I can count on my hands the ones so far. Whose affections do not dismember you, sever your mind from spirit from body.

How many interactions in a year demand an in-kind response?

We're gonna hang out for a couple elf years.

A king who extends, to a queen who waits.

Dancing in minefields, in gardens.

Crystal keys in roiled waters.

Lack and Abundance.

When Grace dances.

Pressure, Extraction.

Sneaks and Sirens.

Alright, I'll play.

It's goin' down.

Here we are.
Hineni.
Pssst.

The light of the dawn is upon you!

rise up, o you sleeper, awake!

come, broken and weary.
come, battered and bruised.

my Jesus makes all things new, all things new!

come, lost and abandoned.
come, blown by the wind.

he'll bring you back home again, home again!

come, frozen with shame.
come, burdened with guilt.

my Jesus, he loves you still, he loves you still!

// "all things new," andrew peterson.

come, see a man who told me all that i ever did. can this be the Christ? // john 4.29

good news! good news!
the burning light that exposes us
has become for us the light of a new day!

the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. // john 1.5

Come and see, you'll TGIF too.

Philip said to Nathanael and I say to you, "Come and see."
You're invited to witness three great things.

1. "Friday" official MV (Rebecca Black).
   
   
   
   Are you one of the 45 million views on YouTube? I'm... at least 14 of those. So I'm tucking away the most LOL-worthy music video I have seen in a long while for future-me's future web entertainment. In case I forget that such hilarious things exist, the intarwebz will recall.
   
   
2. Friday nights. Did you get the invite? Yes, you. You who love the LWEC children and want them to taste and see, you who feed His sheep.
   

   E: You don't really want to hear or be uncomfortable, but you have to be the first one if you're trying to invite them there. The Holy Ghost party, that is.

   Pea: Haha yea that's true.

   E: You can't invite them to a party you're not at! Well I guess you could but they prob won't wanna go. I think that's all we can do, is "Come and see, from where I'm sitting."

   Pea: Mmk. Will try to get myself to the party. Thanks for reminding me.

   E: Hahah you'll get there! He gets you there! ... WHICH SEAT CAN I TAKE? BAHAHAHA jk.

   Pea: Omg.... -.-

   E: Just makin sure it's burned into your memory in time for FRIDAY.

   Pea: haha TOMORROW. FUN FUN FUN FUN.

   If you could only taste and see, you'll find such goodness that you won't be able to stop promoting the party. You who burn out from ineffective beg-pleading, come and drink deeply. He's worthy, come worship and seek Him with me, it's worth it; accept and extend this invitation.
   
   
   Take heart. See and be nourished yourself first. Be the trellis not the Vine.
   
   
3. Good Friday is soon.
