I’ve been reading about the life of Christ according to Luke and it’s funny how when you actually think about what’s going on…he was kinda crazy. I mean, who walks around and does the things that he did…and gets away with it? What humble boldness as he did the outrageous. He somehow took the ordinary and made it sacred (or maybe that’s how it always is and he just pointed it out). He took the ladder of power and turned it upside down, or laid it down completely…He took the chaos of this world and found the moments of peace…joy…life…love. I think this line says it well depicting the reaction of the disciples after Jesus calmed the storm: “The disciples were terrified and amazed…” (Lk 8.25). I wonder if I live with enough of that…holy fear and mystic amazement. Hmmm….
