Things Missing

Life is much to do about time, space, and place. Our lives are developed in these three arenas. It is where our lives are continually altered. It is also where things go missing. What is it like to be 34 months and 2000 miles Removed from a placed you felt at home more Than any other place and came to love More than any other. We all have treasured things that at some point In our lives can disappear or become missing. What are a few things that can go missing? Things like emotions refusing to be disconnected; Rare things that are very difficult to replace; Things like moments that feel like magic. For me, it is the site of raised hands at the altars. It is the sound of my pastor's voice saying, "Wow!" It is the Word of God permeating the church's bulletin. It is an announcement of some new outreach venture. It is being trained to be a doorkeeper in the House of God. It is the sound of a man in the pews shouting, "JESUS!" It is praise and worship compelling me to fall prostrate. It is the free flowing of The Holy Spirit and a clear message of salvation that leads people to Christ. It is a big bear hug from a big God loving man name Sam.
