...maybe the stones are crying out

The Way It Really Is...

P9090058 I do not find Christians, outside of the catacombs, sufficiently sensible of conditions. Does anyone have the foggiest idea of the power we so blithely invoke? Or, as I suspect, does no one believe a word of it? It is madness to wear ladies’ straw hats and velvet hats to church; we should all be wearing crash helmets. Ushers should issue life preservers and signal flare; they should lash us to our pews. For the sleeping God may wake someday and take offense; or the waking God may draw us out to where we can never return.

...from "Teaching a Stone to Talk"

May this be one of those weeks where our Triune God draws you way out way, way beyond your current boundaries that either circumstances or you have set up for yourself.
