On The Veranda With Fear Of The Lord

Here is a pic from the waiting room.

Hey, here we are again. We are not doing these gifts in any logical order, just in how they jump up at me. One is not more important than another just because we covered it first. And as we work our way through it is becoming apparent that the gifts are interlocking. One makes another easier or better. They are meant to be together as a group. Wasn’t there a film, The Magnificent Seven?

Fear of the Lord welcome to our humble scene. We have been interviewing your friends here at the Veranda for a few days and everything has been going well with that. I was just telling our audience how I was seeing how the gifts work together, one helping another or one complimenting another.

More and more this word fear is being translated as something like awe. Would you agree with that? Mostly you say. It wouldn’t be bad to realize that one is around something extremely powerful and dangerous when one is looking into the cone of an active volcano. Or that a storm at sea is nothing to trifle with. Yes, I see, there is a dangerous aspect.

It is hard for me at the moment to go beyond that, it was so powerful. Yes, fear is a natural reaction that we certainly all recognize. It leaves an impression. Yes, but God is so much more. Yes, right. So we can’t get stuck there, I see.

Yes, Julian of Norwich, had that vision of meeting God and He held in His hand what looked like a hazelnut. And that little finite object was everything that was or ever will be, in other words the whole of the universe. Yes, that is a powerful image that we can dwell on.

Well, with that we will have to sign off today. Folks are coming to walk and I am still in my jammies.

Hazelnut loves, Felipé.
