A Shaking

Maybe our worlds need to be shaken

I’ve built some nice ideas over the weeks, months, years.

Some hidden idols

(Mentalities, stereotypes, judgments.)

Sometimes I get trapped in my own brooke-reality

Trapped under the buildings we build with faulty foundations

(Religion. Laws. Doctrine. Static, archaic things that do not bring LIFE)

We’ve been told God is our rock

Stiff, rigid, ouch-I-stubbed-my-toe, un-alive rock?

(The stone was rolled away after three days)

I can’t get the blood out of my head.

Life is in the blood

He shed His blood

Told us we would have to drink it to find life

Our gods are rocks. The stability and security,

The solid-rock life insurance

Rows of little rock-god-statues we hid behind

Maybe our worlds need to be shaken

And everything will crumble.

What if we knew nothing.

Nothing

Nothing

NOTHING

But the blood of Jesus?

The life flow love joy peace freedom brokenness messiness

Blood of Jesus.

What else is there?
