ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
April 20, 2020

I received permission from our friend, Rev. Terry Ewing, to repost the following. Terry serves as Vice President for Advancement at Phillips Theological Seminary in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Thanks, Terry!!

You can only go halfway into the darkest forest;
then you are coming out the other side.
–Chinese proverb.

Dark forests. 

Doubt.  Pain.  Addiction.  Abandonment.  Corona virus.  Uncontrolled irritation and anger.  Deep wells of depression.  Memory’s fog.  Hope-less.  Deepening and irreversible decline.  Lost.  Scared.  Frightened.  Which way out?

   Halfway may have been a long way.  Where is halfway?  When is halfway?  Don’t despair, for you stand at the exact point, where you need to be to come home.  Home is still here.  Home waits for you with open arms when you walk out of the dark.

O God, I place my hand in yours. Guide me, once more, into the light. Lead me to your Peace. So be it.
