Restoration - His Way

Today's sermon couldn't have been more "in the face." The topic on restoration is an attempt from the bigger man to set the inner being free. Instead of doing it the snuggly cryptic way, the message was explicit. B and myself just stared at one another with amazement. The tear ducts weren't faulty afterall. Our idea of restoration is apparently different from His explaination. Imagine a mug shattered into pieces. Restoration will mean putting the mug back together but guess what, we will have the mug better than ever and in fact, 7 times better! So if you lose something, you may not have lost it because it will be given back to you 7 times better or even better replacement that is 7 times more awesome will come your way. Just leave it to powers you can't imagine. This sermon can't be a better testimony to "God works in mysterious ways." To a stubborn person, you will need to be direct and to state the obvious. Thou shalt not repeat what Pastor Prince said but it was pretty darn clear! Freedom of the mind followed, though not quite immediate. Kinda miraculous, you've got to experience it to believe in it.

The storm in this area isn't isolated and the setting in of reality is hitting people close to heart. I suppose it's just normal human behavior to have some sort of retarded reaction to emotions. I'd like to compare it to turbo lag. It happened to me and now, I'm seeing it on a dear friend whose identity is protected because I see hope through faith. The peace before the storm can be deceptive and I cannot offer anything else but my ear. I agree we're all running out of activities after trying to pack everything into every available slots possible but when the dust settles, we know we're due for a drink. Cheers...
