David’s Blog

Well, here is the first post ever for me. I'll use this space one to two times a week to give some facts about me and write about teachable moments, challenges and quirky thoughts that occur in my brain as life goes on.

I was searching the web for some landscape/cityscape pictures a while back and ran across this pic and thought, "I wonder what it would be like to bungee jump or base jump from Jesus' hand?" I don't know exactly why it occurred to me. This statue is several stories tall on top of a mountain in Brazil. It just seems like something fun, maybe. I'm not usually a thrill seeker. I like the rush of adrenaline and I have actually jump from an airplane in a tandem jump. But I think the thought of literally having Jesus there is kind of cool. Now I know it is not Him and that He is with me, nothing can separate me… But there is something actual/virtual that makes it seem more real. So I thought to myself, "what is the image of God I have in my mind?" When I think of Him, what do I see?" Is He smiling, laughing, stern faced, puzzled, old, young, feeble, strong… Whatever it is it could be an idol if you and I are not careful. However, God's presence is so crucial to who we are and what we do. Let's work on sensing His presence everyday, minute by minute. I wonder if Jesus would bungee jump with me?
