Once again home

It's almost time for me to climb back into an airplane and head across the country. Back home to St. Albert! I'm really looking forward to it, but at the same time not. Mainly because today was gloriously warm here in Toronto and when I talked with my parental units yesteday it had snowed 8 inches. Alas.

I had a great day today. A day of relaxation and reflection. A day of drinking 75 cups of coffee to fight off the edge of exhaustion we are all feeling from the Siege week and then straight into preaching at TACF Central last night.

All I can say right now is how thankful I am to be alive. I am so thankful to be doing what it is that I do. It's fun to be a secret agent for the Lord. I feel beyond the most priviledged person ever to walk the face of the earth. Often I wonder if I will get to meet even more incredible people. How is it that they all walk the face of the earth now at the same time?

Preaching last night at TACF Central was so special. I love them so much there. I've only ever been to the church twice in my life, yet I carry them in my heart it seems. I suppose it could be due to the fact that they are all in the young adult category and I love nearly everyone in that little category. Really. To see them succeed is everything to me. To see my generation discover that dreams do come true -- there is nothing like it.

And I'm just in love with everyone. What treasure exists before us. What incredible wonder to realize that each person walking the face of the earth has been created by God Himself! Not just thrown together, but he took time, he meditated, he took painstaking effort to piece each one together, he dreamed the greatest dream he ever dreamed, his heart exploded with passion and excitement and then he made you, and me, and everyone.

Each person is a dream come true. A dream of GOD come true!! And we get to learn about that person, that treasure, that... that... expression of God's never ending supernatural reality here on planet earth. Wow! Who could not just go head over heals in love and wonder not just of a God like this but of the people that have emerged from the depths of His heart. And if they don't know it... well, it's about time they find out who they really are!

There is nothing like Him. There never has been and there never will be. But today it gets better. There is nothing like Him, but it gets deeper, more amazing, more scary, more wonderful, more... more. Always.
