Getting ready to start my role as a voting commissioner to our Presbyterian Church USA national "General Assembly", held in Detroit MI. Today I was out and about and caught this scene. The interpretation could go two ways: 1. May the Holy Spirit fill our proceedings or 2. There is a lot of plain old hot air in our proceedings! I pray the former!
Have you ever seen something that looks solid from one perspective, but a total destruction when viewed as a whole? This building's top floors are still intact, but they are demolishing it from the ground up! Bucket by bucket full ...the building is being ripped apart.
Sometimes we face the world with a tentative pasted smile, while inside we are being assaulted by forces beyond our control.
On the other hand, this 221 year old house continues to shelter families , including my own for a number of years.
Remember to face the world with the strength and fortitude of Jesus Christ. Nothing will separate us from the love of Jesus Christ ... Nothing in this life or the one to come.
