This is Monday morning, Memorial
Day in the United States. As you have probably seen we posted a special
Memorial Day weekend article a couple of days ago and several have made some
thoughtful comments about it. This is a bit of an unusual topic for this blog
and some may wonder if it is really appropriate.
Here is my thinking: The Kingdom
of God changes the way we think about everything or at least it should. It
should change the way I think about my multiple sclerosis, my possessions, my
relationships, my anxieties, my citizenship, and my enemies. The list goes on
and on.
In none of these cases should I be
squeezed into the world’s mold or go with the flow, but in all cases, my mind
should be transformed by the mind of Jesus. Will that sometimes—even many times—make
me an alien and stranger in this world? Absolutely. But that is the way of
Jesus, and the only way for us to shine like stars in the universe.
As the discussion continues on
the original post I would encourage you to follow it and to enter in, but, of
course, in the Spirit of Jesus, keep it kind and respectful. Please do not add
comments to this post, but go back to the first post. God bless.
