Voyage Incarnata

A spiritual journal dedicated to the idea of "being Jesus" to everyone I meet and in every situation.

Location: Austin, Texas, United States

Storyteller is an odd job title, isn't it? I started this experimental, experiential faith community, that's kind of a church, with some good friends in Austin. Many of them are artists or musicians or writers or geeks, it's an interesting group of people. We're not all Republicans or Democrats or anything but Jesus people. I have a great wife and four incredible kids and love the life that I have been given. I'm a disciple of Jesus Christ, and, in my journey with Him, have learned that joy is not a pipe dream and love can be a reality of every day life.

Okay, Here we go. Blog Numero Uno! I taught this morning on Jesus turning the water into wine at a wedding feast in Cana (John 2). He created, according to the Book, between 120 and 180 GALLONS of wine. That's a lot of vino, baby. Hook me up with some cheese, sweet candlelight, my lady and some mood music and I'm good to go! Interesting, isn't it? How many people actually understand that the first miracle of Christ was to keep a party going? It might do wonders for our spirituality to just understand that He started it all with a party! I don't know about you but there are times when my life just stinks and if I didn't believe that Jesus came to 'turn my crying to dancing' like it says in Psalm 30, I wouldn't be able to go on.

I saw a news report on another car bomb attack in Iraq, at a funeral this time. More dead. I'm tired of this war as I'm sure everyone is. I'm ready for our men and women to come home.

My good friend Marci here at The Well, (that's our faith community) produced a cool info sheet this week and titled it The Leak. The title had us rolling in laughter for a while today. It was great so, if you're reading this, thanks Mars!

I attended Eeyore's Birthday celebration in Austin yesterday and was reminded why I love the city so much. People were everywhere, in costumes, playing music, hanging out, dancing, laughing. It was a great celebration of Spring on a beautiful day.

I think that's all for now.

May God bless you.
May He raise you up and let you fly on His breath.
May He light your world with candles of hope and love.
Peace.
